@@anikakhan1539 well , if she play since 18 months old.. Here i give you simple math : if she practice 8 hours per day for 3.5 years, she already has 10.220 hours practice. Maybe not that much per day, she is just a little kid, take it half, at least 6 years for practice. Combine with above average IQ (logic) of course. Good logic, better understanding in practise also i think she has teacher that gives her structural practice to enhance her result. But as she gets older, it wouldn't be a surprise if she will more invested time for practice at least 6 to 8 hours. Or you can simply see how ballet dancer day to day practice and there are reasons why they started so young. If this girl started playing in her teens, i doubt she can do 10thousand hours in 3,5 years. I suggest you read about 10.000 hours rule and grit (Angela Duckworth)
I know me to, I was sittin here feeling like a loser and then turned this shyt on and was like MORE OF A LOSER, im sure there is a bright side here somewhere
for some weird reason, i love seeing these kinds of people who have their unique quirks and talents, the way they think is often beautiful and it is as if they reside on different planes of reality
@@jessik7420 Glad this was a joke. I'd rather look like an idiot than be right in this situation. I'm usually able to spot a joke, but this one didn't sound like it. Oh well.
Yes, my son has this incredible talent, he learnt to play alone, without ever having a teacher, and he plays like a pro, he never does a false note, it is wonderful to listen how he plays the triangle.
One of the worst things you can do with child prodigies is overcompliment them based upon how their skill level compares with that of most people's. In teaching and dealing with them in general, you have to hold them to a standard that is determined by their own skill level, and compliment them when they perform well within THAT context alone.
"I'm okay..." Don't press her for a better answer, her humility and honesty speak volumes. Yes, she is good, but what's your motive for trying for a better answer than was given? To inflate her ego? To encourage her? There are far too many who let their gifts/talents/abilities go to their heads, and in my opinion the gift of music, long riddled to be the language of the soul doesn't need any more divas or so called "Idols". Still, I admire her gift and wish her all the best!
The three year olds fine motor control and body awareness pushes the boundary of what is humanly possible. Most three year olds can barely grip the stick, nevertheless do trick shots.
Who says that they or we, are truly human....maybe they/we are MUCH more than the human avatar we are pretending to be at the moment? The truth of our existence runs deeper than most of us will ever realize in this pre=school we are in, called Earth life....Prodigies are fascinating to me...they break all the rules of our current way of thinking....how is it possible to be SO talented and seasoned at such a young age.....well, it isn't..unless they had alot of practice BEFORE hand..in a former lifetime
@@mustangmikep51Many consider this version of Earth to be advanced (difficulty level: very hard) due to the extreme broad range in the diversity of experience and the various illusory limitations that can be perceived here.
These kids were born very talented. But talent needs to be supported by environment. If girl’s grandma wasn’t pianist herself and if they won’t be able to afford good teachers, situation might be different. Some people can’t even afford to have a piano. Some hobbies are more expensive than others of course. I bet there are a lot of talented people out there who’s circumstances wasn’t in their favor. You can only make the best of what you started with. I’m not trying to diminish brilliant skills of these kids of course. Think parents should make their best to spot kid’s talent and provide them with what they need to become really good at it.
I feel that prodigies are born with a gift for whatever they are good at but also have to put in the time and effort to maintain their skill. Just my 2 cents, but that is my opinion.
Not only maintain the skill but carry that gift to a level its if value to the society not just another talented person with no impact..from experience
these kids had lessons and the parents recognised there poteintal early on other wise no one would know of them whos knows who else could have been prodigies
I think that pool playing kid is probably a reincarnated mobster that made his bones during the 70s war between the Columbos and Gambino's.. they were probably all reincarnated that brought the skills with them into this life
This is the same argument usually reserved for IQ in general. The scientific consensus is… genius is heritable, but needs to be cultivated to reach its full potential. However, it isn't necessary the parents that cultivate or intense practice that builds skill, there are many different approaches to competency.
There must be many kids too who never get the chance to discover their talents. For example, most families don’t have a piano in their house, so many kids don’t discover that they might be great at playing the piano from a young age.
@Joe Duke Sadly your philosophy there is pretty asinine, just as your claim to being a child prodigy. There's quite a substantial difference between being a prodigy and being (In your case, at best) above average. Simply put, a Fermi estimation puts the number of pianos in households that are tuned at least once a year at an average 1/20 or 5% of the sample size of Chicago, since our sample > 30, 5% average holds for the population of the US as well as the world, so roughly 367.5 million homes with pianos. Since the US (population of 327.2 million) is not the only advanced civilization on Earth that is undergoing the effects of seeking equality, once can easily see how your statement of "MANY more who are...." is false. Stop thinking that you're better than anyone else.
@Joe Duke Which intellect would you be speaking of? Since of course, Mr. Prodigy himself surely is aware there are 9 of them. If only you didn't make a claim and then not support it when asked, I would have left you alone. But rather than defending your original statement and moving on you choose to trade insults with me. For someone trying to prove to the internet their superior intellect, you sure are dumb.
It's funny how everyone just accepts that gay people are born that way and yet so many people refuse to believe you can be born with an innate talent. Which is it?
When I grew up there wasn't a single musical instrument at home. My parents never even listened to music. Who knows I might have become the next Mozart. I love music now but I'm almost 70.
x yz music is for all ages and for everyone,my next door neighbour had a piano,so I played it there when I was little and had no piano of my own either!
Practicing doesn't explain artistic talent like that kid painter. That's innate ability. Compare his stuff to 99.9999% of kids his age. It's a gift for sure.
They didn't make much of the fact that Emily Bear's real talent, even beyond her incredible playing talent, is composing, and that she composed most of the music she played in this clip.
Nor that she plays most genres (jazz being the favorite because that gives room for creativity), plus she sings as well now and overall a very very happy young woman.
Both my brother and I have musical talent that we inherited from our musician parents. I was pretty good on two instruments as a teen, and my brother developed into a professional orchestral musician. We both worked hard (him more than me). Neither of us had the gift that Emily Bear - or the other kids here - had. There's something absolutely extraordinary about these kids.
I started drawing at about 18 months old. It was influence and science that switched on that part of my brain. I remember specifically that one of my Aunt's boyfriends in the late 70's was an extremely talented jazz musician as well as artist with a name I'd never heard before in my whole 18 months of living, it was Gordon. And to me, it's not that common of name. I remember, in my 18 month old mind that I wanted to do exactly what he could do and I set out to do it. First thing I drew was a horse and it looked like a horse. Maybe I have a natural talent, but that equates to being more aligned in your brain to doing one thing over another. I have absolutely 0 Math abilities. So, unfortunately, it's either do something with my Art talent that has no mechanical/engineering ability, aka I'll never be an architect unless you want to live in a building that just might completely collapse, or give up on Art completely and force myself to do something else. I choose to keep doing Art when I can, but I try and focus on other areas that I am good in as well to survive.
@@overcookedburger7251 there’s a difference between a prodigy and a normal person. Prodigies are always praised. They get put on a pedestal. And they get more hate than a normal person would for messing up. The Normal person is expected to mess up. Not a prodigy
I totally agree. I've seen a ton of kids playing the Chopin waltz that Emily plays in this video, as well as most of the other classical pieces that she plays, but I have seen NOBODY on RU-vid who composes the kind of music that she does. Anna Larsen is a VERY close second, though. She's really good, too.
Like her, no one can be influenced by an outside source at 2 or 3 years old, it is a gift from the Lord and like all people, we are responsible to use it to the glory of the Lord. Whatever you do, do all to the glory of the Lord, so says scripture, and that is only accomplish by faith in the Lord Jesus.
Alot of kids call me a prodigy in my orcestera class but I think I'm just another person there that plays songs and no I don't read the notes. I play by ear. and one time the teaches said to practice Reading the notes but I never did lol don't tell him 😂
That's wonderful! Being able to play music by ear IS a prodigy ability! (a strange one too) I've always wondered what it's like to be able to do that. It'll be a very useful ability to have if you really start to study different styles of music and start to improvise professionally. If I were you, I would start studying music theory some if you wanted to compose music one day. You wold probably be good at it since you can play music by ear and already know what the notes are before you put them into the score.
Although, I would not call my 15-year-old nephew a prodigies, I know he is gifted. I saw signs of this before he started school. At two and two months out of the blue, he count from 6 to 13. At four and month, he counted from one to eight. Then said, "Four and Four is eight. He also has high reading, science and computer skills. Right now he wants to be a computer programmer. He is a comp. pro. for his HS Robotics teams. He also has other interest.
Most of the child prodigies have one thing in common, not divine gift, not over taxing parental guidance, but a non-taxing communication with their parent/s, that enable brain development/neural connections, that every child have more or less. Self taught mathematician Ramanujan was taught meditation (Vaishnav yoga) by his mother and grandmother and continued throughout his life, enabling him to discover more than 4000 theorems, before he died at age of 33.
In 2008, Emily won an ASCAP Foundation Morton Gould Young Composer Award for her piece "Northern Lights", the youngest composer ever to win the award. In 2015, she won an ASCAP Foundation Morton Gould Young Composer Award for her orchestral piece "Les Voyages". In 2016, she won an ASCAP Foundation Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composers Award for her piece "Old Office". In 2017, she won an ASCAP Foundation Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composers Award, for her piece"Je ne sais pas". In 2022, she won a Grammy for "The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HnugJ-ILVeY.html
As a mother who carried four babies full term I firmly believe babies arrive with some degree of preprogramming. What we are seeing now is parents who note interests and abilities and support them early.
This. I think it's a combination of genetic memory and/or soul experiences and knowledge. How else do you have unique personalities and children naturally talented in areas with no prior experience in their current life.
Lazy Journalism: Are child prodigies given a gift or has it been cultivated? Pretty much all the Researchers: The skills have been cultivated. Lazy Journalism: I guess there is just no way of knowing...here is some anecdotal evidence that in no way can structure any abstractions, but feels like facts because of emotions and stuff.
definitely born with it. you can make a child practice every hour of the day but at that young it wouldn't matter unless they had a natural talent for it.
"Relentless parental pressure" will, no doubt, make a child better at whatever he/she does than they would have been without it - but I don't think these truly extraordinary kids are often the result of that. I have never known one, but my sister's children were in violin class with one, and her parents used to confiscate the violin for periods and send her out to play - otherwise she would have spent all her time playing it. She didn't do it because of her parents - she really wanted to do it. Maybe it starts when a child just happens to get something right early on, gets hugely praised for it, then the success-breeds-success thing takes over and it's self-perpetuating. It's amazing how many of these child prodigies are Chinese, and I believe there is probably a strong link with the one child policy that China implemented for a whole generation, so a lot of Chinese children were the center of family attention, and no doubt, greatly praised for any achievement. An entire population of "the only child".
Prodigies are born but they need practice and cultivation to maintain their skills. If they don’t, they will become normal like everyone else. I know because I was a piano prodigy when I was really young up until I was about ten (I tied for first with an 18yo at a piano festival where ages 10-18 were one category). But then I started doing other things at school and church and stopped focusing on piano. I’m still above average, but not nearly to the extent that I was.
These children are highly trained, and they got used to it and think it is normal. Children suppose to enjoy themselves their face doesn't say what they are talking. Their face telling me a sad story :(. Just like in a circus
miranda panda lol here I am proud of my self for a D- in algebra😂 (as long as I don’t have an F I’m okay) but then again I am no joke one point away from failing ... oops lmao
I’m not an expert or a scientist or anything but I think that prodigies are not born with a gift or a talent, they’re dedicated children and do a lot of practice and kids learn quicker than adults, but the most important thing is that their parents are good parents, my brother had the potential to be a tech genius, he was coding and creating games and websites at age 8 and he was fixing computers and mobile phones but sadly my parents didn’t support him.
Let me break it down Lang Lang had to practice 5 hrs a day at 4 to 7 then when he turned 8 9hrs a day there are no prodigies in music unless there composing and I can’t speak for that kid that plays pool and the drawing you can’t teach that search up child playing piano and you can find thousands but you can’t find kids painting like that everywhere I’ve personally seen an Asian 5 year old play some of the best Chopin in my life so no the piano is instilled
Talent? No such thing!!! Just effective practice strategies, and lots of repetition. Whether the child stumbled on those practice strategies by luck or was taught them makes no difference.
@Arnulfo Laniba I am catholic. And what's your point? Are you trying to say that we are all given different talents and some people do more with theirs or that those kids did more with their own than most?
look up for her on wikipedia, Emily Bear....now at 20 Grammy winner,Best Musical Theater Album producer and co-composer etc. etc. ...already in 2013 release of a jazz album produced by Quincy Jones...at 16 in 2017 classical headliner at the Night of the Proms tour next to Peter Cetera, Roger Hodgson, Melanie C. John Miles...very likely more Grammys...even Oscars in future...
The artwork he is creating is something quite a few people can teach themselves to create. It’s not detail heavy and the compositions are fairly minimalistic. It’s good but it doesn’t require some kind of gifted genius.
NGL, I wasn't impressed by the artistic talent the kid had. It lacked detail, composition and color. To me, that's more of a situation where the parents have become promoters of their child's artwork to get it into shows and have it sell for money. I don't see a child with genuine, unrivaled talent.
You need to cultivate talent. But with all the focus on climate, islam, EU, food, we forget human talent is more then Religion and food. Beautifull kid.
Oh, good! Another crack at a false dichotomy. It’s EITHER nature OR nurture, can’t be both, right? Or those in combination with other things, like, say, luck for example. So tiresome….
You are asking the wrong question. Who cares whether talent is born or cultivated - as long as the kid himself is truly happy. These are unlike the sad, miserable/complaining ones like Mozart, Ronnie O’ Sullivan or Vanessa Mae [who ‘divorced’ her parent]. Provided they are loved unconditionally by their parents, then, it also shouldn’t matter if they grow up & treat their exceptional talents as ‘mere’ hobbies or change them completely. Consider the tragic case of piano prodigy, Terence Judd.
REINCARNATION. . . I think that some people seem to be born through a thinner veil and with accomplishments from some past life that they are able to carry over. You could be born into a really terrible situation and get thwarted, though! God doesn't do that or maybe it is just some kind of celestial math? I wonder what their stages of development look like compared to say, a late bloomer like me, or another more "normal" human with accomplishments.
calling her a prodigy is a bit of a stretch. Labeling anyone under 12 with semi good skills as a child prodigy can be damaging when they grow up and discover they're pretty much just average. Everyone gets over hyped just because they're young, but once you remove that element away, they're nothing really special. it's best to wait to see if they really are genius's when they've reached full potential. At least she grew up to be a good pianist, but most other child prodigies just end up disappearing. And Mozarts got nothing on this girl, who even thought it would be a good idea to compare them?
Don’t know how I got here, but listened. When she was asked who her favorite composer was I held fingers crossed hoping she would mention the greatest composer. Has to be Bach!
Why are things like this either-or? False dichotomy. It has been well established that both nature and nurture are involved. OTOH, if the inherent talent, or “nature” is not there, one will never see results like this...
