It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

My reaction to child prodigies

I've had a chance to hear and see a number of them close up, as well as meet them. What's disappointing when you take a close look is how most of them are already consumed in the business and professional aspects of music. It's already a serious job, and for the ordinary childhood fun they desperately need, they look to anything but music.
That may be a reasonable price to pay for the small fraction of prodigies who achieve true long term fame and stardom. For the rest, it seems too much.
And as impressive and improbable-seeming as it is that an 11-year old can steam through Lush Life, or the Mendelssohn violin concerto, it turns out there are more children who can do things like that than the casual observer might think.
