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.

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.

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 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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
@@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
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?
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 RUclips who composes the kind of music that she does. Anna Larsen is a VERY close second, though. She's really good, too.
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.
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.
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.
what it is, is a feeling that you are just plain comfortable with something. then as you start to do whatever this is more, you realize that you have relatively no restrictions, being able to rearrange, complicate, and dissect any method without really needing to be taught these methods. people will often compliment your ability to adjust so quickly, or learn something new that regular people find advanced or challenging. even starting off with something far beyond your perceived level. when you are shown a new method you don't learn it like other people. since you aren't like other people, communication is very challenging. learning though is very self explanatory from analysis of what is happening. learning is very quick because you have either thought of it already and they are confirming your suspicions or its a slight modification to what you were suspecting. of course, the prodigy has already moved beyond this platform and the confirmation of their ideas only blossoms into what they were planning ahead for. development because of this is very quick. slight changes are easy because the basics are obvious to them, thus spending the initial learning curve on what others spend many years on later in life. this is how a prodigy exists and feels. the world is foreign to them. people are confusing but acceptable. they have one thing that really makes sense to them. sometimes they find other things that make just as much sense to them. its fun, but its not for everyone.
I was ( still am? ) a Prodigy at sinning. I never had to practice or be told, it just came naturally to me. Then the LORD stepped in and turned my life around by showing me just how sinful I am and just how holy He is and if I ever want to be with Him I'm going to have to be as sinless and absolutely perfect as He is. Which created a big problem - no matter what I did - how many good works I performed, how many times I tried to not sin I just couldn't get there. I was doomed to spent eternity AWAY from God - in hell. But, then God showed me a way to be righteous and acceptable to Him - if only I was willing to humble myself and stop trying to earn my way into righteousness and instead accept the righteousness that Jesus Christ wrought by His sinless life. Jesus had already taken my place and paid the penalty on the cross for all the sins I committed and I would get credited with His righteousness. So simple. So merciful. So eternally loving. How does one know whether one is a prodigy as sinning? Simple - look at the ten commandments and see just how many one has broken. Break one, you've basically broken them all. Done. Doomed. No amount of good works or good living can save you after that. Lied? Stolen - no matter how small? Been angry enough to want to kill - Jesus says you've already committed murder in your heart. Lusted after someone ? - already committed adultery in your heart, says Jesus. There is no dodging the law. We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD and are in need of saving grace. Let God turn your life around - humble yourself to acknowledge your sinful nature and accept Jesus' righteousness and Lordship over your life. You owe Him yours. It's all His. Live in accordance with that acknowledgement - hence the requirement for humility. Once one does that one is justified in God's eyes and then begins that lifelong process of repentance - getting rid of all known sin in one's life - the process of sanctification. I hope this is useful for all those who are prodigies as sinning.
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.
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!
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.
"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".
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.
I truly believe they are born with the talent sent from what could only be God. I Know that I could have learned to play music or chess or any complicated craft for years and years and could never reach the amazing level of artistry they give us
What I would love to see on TV would be the THREE PRODIGIES SPECIAL with Emily Bear, Amira Willighagen, and Alma Deutscher performing together. Amira and Alma are already friends, and have sung Alma’s Stepsisters Duet from her CINDERELLA Opera together for fun. I am SO disappointed that Emily performed downtown a couple of miles away last fall and I didn’t find out about it until December.
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.
There is much more "ruthless pressure" in our society, maybe among all humanity in general, to not shine, to be average, to not stand out or show up your siblings.
Yes it's so amazing especially because they are so young , now that I'm 63 if I picked up a tennis racket and started to win againts the top 3 - people would think that is amazing , and Nadal Joekavich and federer would be ANGRY.
I’m suddenly feeling VERY unaccomplished! Those kids are pure genius!..but have to say, the 3 year old pool shark? OMG...absolutely adorable!! All three blow my mind, makes us question if reincarnation is a real thing...how do children that young have the talent of a seasoned professional? Where does the talent come from?
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": ruclips.net/video/HnugJ-ILVeY/видео.html
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.
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.
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
Not sure if I like the answer the little pool kid said, about saying "I love you daddy" while playing pool. Or his dad always being around him....even toddlers and preschoolers need their space to play and grow without adult interferance. For us, it was clear that my son was gifted visual spatially since he was able to start playing with toys on his own. He's not a prodigy, by any stretch, but he was unusual. He was doing puzzles beyond his age, even multiple puzzles at a time, from the time he was 18 months old. He loved building things with his wooden blocks, and soon duplos and legos became his favorite toys. By the time he was 3, he was able to build almost anything with instructions. We gave him a labo kit when he was 5 and he worked on the labo piano for 5 hours straight one day and built it completely by himself. By the time he was 6, he was building lego sets meant for adults. Then, around 8yo, he didn't want to play with lego anymore. He found a material called "brain flakes" that he enjoyed more, as well as snake puzzles and board games. The key here was that...when he decided he wanted to do something different, we didn't force him to keep playing with something else. This is what makes me wonder how much of these children have a "choice" as to whether to stick with what they are great at, and if they are allowed to quit entirely and do something else. There's a reason why many child prodigies "burn out" and quit by the time they are able to choose for themselves. There's also the fact aren't able to carry that genius to adulthood. What seemed like crazy talent at 5 years old may seem ordinary at 24. The ability doesn't necessarily grow, as well.
You describe an ordinary child of good intelligence. A sort of those worthy of a good uni later. Nothing unusial about your child. Lego puts false age on their nlocks, to prevent offending a good half of population. At age 2 a normal child works with 3-6 lego, at age 6 - adult lego. Any clever child starts playing with toys on his own. I am shocked that you perceive this as anything but the norm. You clearly have not amet a really extraordinary child. Fields for early "prodigy" kind are only music, chess , sports and very rarely drawing-painting. If your child is a future engineer, there is no prodigy option for this kind of talent.
@@MishaSkripach He's been tested, dumbass. He's highly gifted and in elementary school he's working at a high school/collegiate level at school. You are clearly mistaken on what you think you know.
There is little doubt that different people are born with different abilities. Put a child with a particular ability in an environment where the ability is fostered it ought to be no surprise that the child will excel. It follows that there will be some with very high levels of ability and in the appropriate conditions they will rise to the top. if Mozart's father had been a humble shoemaker its doubtful we would ever have had the Marriage of Figaro or any other of his works. My feeling is that there are thousands born with 'special gifts' who because of circumstance never get their foot on the first step of the ladder.
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.
6:55 "One thing is certain, people actually can be child prodigies." None of the kids in this video have extra special natal talent or extra high intelligence or extra special abilities. What they have in common is 1. They were all inspired to do what they are good at at a very early age, usually by watching a parent or other adult. 2. After fooling around with it, they were given lessons in it. 3. Once they got fairly good at it, they continued to get better, because they received praise and special recognition. Mozart, Tiger Woods, Christina Aguilera...all were inspired and trained before the age of three. They were all average kids. This is not simple opinion. These are facts in Child Human Development, Pediatric Psychology and Human Learning Development. Nurture vs. nature.

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.
Thyre cultivated. Those who have talents but slowly fade into the norms of society lose their talents
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!
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
If you wish to be a truly great musician, you must be like ling ling and practice 40 hours a day

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.
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
Lol
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.
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.
3:31: "This simple sketching, sooned, turned almost super natural."
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.
The problem with being a prodigy is that you are expected to be the best and you are judged when you mess up even the slightest
Well it happens even in the normal people 🤣. They will judge you by your mess not on your hard work ☺️
@@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
Videos like these remind me how useless I am
@Chinese Bees, same bro🤝✊
same :(
They're born but they need the desire to act upon the talent.
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?
He said it was mozart when it was chopin, I am triggered.
Oh and if you want the piece it's waltz in c-sharp minor. Very nice piece :3
One of my favorites; I have played it in the past.

I’m also here and i was looking for some twosetters😂
These young people are on fire with their passions!
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 RUclips who composes the kind of music that she does. Anna Larsen is a VERY close second, though. She's really good, too.
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.
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.
Vaishnav yoga?
the first girl was so humble :’)
That 3 year old is amazing at pool while I can't even hold the stick right...
The first song is what I'm learning, and I really suck at it
They have a flow. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Read Ephesians.
Awesome! Pure God given talent. !
No. A parental/grandparents' genes took care of that.
The focus on balance in life and letting the child have choice in their future makes me worry about piano player Anke from China.

That's impressive!
The little painter is the most astounding to me.
I love Emily. Have seen her since 2008 in ellen and till now she is still wonderful!
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.
what it is, is a feeling that you are just plain comfortable with something. then as you start to do whatever this is more, you realize that you have relatively no restrictions, being able to rearrange, complicate, and dissect any method without really needing to be taught these methods. people will often compliment your ability to adjust so quickly, or learn something new that regular people find advanced or challenging. even starting off with something far beyond your perceived level. when you are shown a new method you don't learn it like other people. since you aren't like other people, communication is very challenging. learning though is very self explanatory from analysis of what is happening. learning is very quick because you have either thought of it already and they are confirming your suspicions or its a slight modification to what you were suspecting. of course, the prodigy has already moved beyond this platform and the confirmation of their ideas only blossoms into what they were planning ahead for. development because of this is very quick. slight changes are easy because the basics are obvious to them, thus spending the initial learning curve on what others spend many years on later in life. this is how a prodigy exists and feels. the world is foreign to them. people are confusing but acceptable. they have one thing that really makes sense to them. sometimes they find other things that make just as much sense to them. its fun, but its not for everyone.
These prodigies experienced these talents in previous lives!
Remember, geniuses are born, not created.
I was ( still am? ) a Prodigy at sinning. I never had to practice or be told, it just came naturally to me.
Then the LORD stepped in and turned my life around by showing me just how sinful I am and just how holy He is and if I ever want to be with Him I'm going to have to be as sinless and absolutely perfect as He is. Which created a big problem - no matter what I did - how many good works I performed, how many times I tried to not sin I just couldn't get there. I was doomed to spent eternity AWAY from God - in hell.
But, then God showed me a way to be righteous and acceptable to Him - if only I was willing to humble myself and stop trying to earn my way into righteousness and instead accept the righteousness that Jesus Christ wrought by His sinless life. Jesus had already taken my place and paid the penalty on the cross for all the sins I committed and I would get credited with His righteousness. So simple. So merciful. So eternally loving.
How does one know whether one is a prodigy as sinning? Simple - look at the ten commandments and see just how many one has broken. Break one, you've basically broken them all. Done. Doomed. No amount of good works or good living can save you after that. Lied? Stolen - no matter how small? Been angry enough to want to kill - Jesus says you've already committed murder in your heart. Lusted after someone ? - already committed adultery in your heart, says Jesus. There is no dodging the law. We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD and are in need of saving grace. Let God turn your life around - humble yourself to acknowledge your sinful nature and accept Jesus' righteousness and Lordship over your life. You owe Him yours. It's all His. Live in accordance with that acknowledgement - hence the requirement for humility. Once one does that one is justified in God's eyes and then begins that lifelong process of repentance - getting rid of all known sin in one's life - the process of sanctification.
I hope this is useful for all those who are prodigies as sinning.
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.
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!
It is all a gift from Christ God.
I’m 15 years old and I can’t play like that. She is so good 👍🏿😉
I remember looking at this thinking, “Are kids not typically supposed to be that good?” Today, I’m still confused.
2024 update: Not anymore! I can’t even play the piano that well! I just don’t get it. I’m awed. Completely awed.
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.
@@sj4iy Kinda looks wierd like Hitler's paintings, erie.
"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".
They want to do it.
Guess what my son does after hours of music practice? Goes on youtube to listen to Ivri Gitlis playing Bach.
and then on the recommended videos there's "teenage and pregnant" lol
Honestly, that kid playing pool blew me away!
I bought my kid a mini piano, she cant play it, but she uses it as a chair like a real pro. Im so proud of her :)
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.
So I can assume you must have been gifted also, you knew he was right by his answers. Your nephew must be proud of you also.
I think they have souls of old Masters !
I truly believe they are born with the talent sent from what could only be God. I Know that I could have learned to play music or chess or any complicated craft for years and years and could never reach the amazing level of artistry they give us
What I would love to see on TV would be the THREE PRODIGIES SPECIAL with Emily Bear, Amira Willighagen, and Alma Deutscher performing together. Amira and Alma are already friends, and have sung Alma’s Stepsisters Duet from her CINDERELLA Opera together for fun. I am SO disappointed that Emily performed downtown a couple of miles away last fall and I didn’t find out about it until December.
This is what kids should be doing.
Past life skills, its within the soul

Man everyday I feel pity for myself for not being talented.

There is much more "ruthless pressure" in our society, maybe among all humanity in general, to not shine, to be average, to not stand out or show up your siblings.
Yes it's so amazing especially because they are so young , now that I'm 63 if I picked up a tennis racket and started to win againts the top 3 - people
would think that is amazing , and Nadal Joekavich and federer would be ANGRY.
I’m suddenly feeling VERY unaccomplished! Those kids are pure genius!..but have to say, the 3 year old pool shark? OMG...absolutely adorable!! All three blow my mind, makes us question if reincarnation is a real thing...how do children that young have the talent of a seasoned professional? Where does the talent come from?
i loved youre video and you are really talented, carry on education this can pass on to youre future.well done
It is both heredity and environment.
Those parents just MAKE talented kids

Emily is a genuine huge talent!
Did anyone notice these houses looked like from the 90s. 0_0
oh wow, that's Emily Bear, she was brilliant even as a child
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.
i dont really use sheets once i see it the first time its stuck in my brain
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.
Amazing
And here I am being 27 and proud of myself for cooking my own dinner 😂😭

BiancaHunt same tho lmao
Some kids are born being able to learn faster so that is why they are this way
The film suggests that they are all 'only' children. No hint of siblings. Wonder if this allows them for focus to add to their natural talent/gift...

0:31 what was the song?
Not sure if I like the answer the little pool kid said, about saying "I love you daddy" while playing pool. Or his dad always being around him....even toddlers and preschoolers need their space to play and grow without adult interferance.
For us, it was clear that my son was gifted visual spatially since he was able to start playing with toys on his own. He's not a prodigy, by any stretch, but he was unusual. He was doing puzzles beyond his age, even multiple puzzles at a time, from the time he was 18 months old. He loved building things with his wooden blocks, and soon duplos and legos became his favorite toys. By the time he was 3, he was able to build almost anything with instructions. We gave him a labo kit when he was 5 and he worked on the labo piano for 5 hours straight one day and built it completely by himself. By the time he was 6, he was building lego sets meant for adults. Then, around 8yo, he didn't want to play with lego anymore. He found a material called "brain flakes" that he enjoyed more, as well as snake puzzles and board games. The key here was that...when he decided he wanted to do something different, we didn't force him to keep playing with something else.
This is what makes me wonder how much of these children have a "choice" as to whether to stick with what they are great at, and if they are allowed to quit entirely and do something else. There's a reason why many child prodigies "burn out" and quit by the time they are able to choose for themselves. There's also the fact aren't able to carry that genius to adulthood. What seemed like crazy talent at 5 years old may seem ordinary at 24. The ability doesn't necessarily grow, as well.
You describe an ordinary child of good intelligence. A sort of those worthy of a good uni later. Nothing unusial about your child. Lego puts false age on their nlocks, to prevent offending a good half of population. At age 2 a normal child works with 3-6 lego, at age 6 - adult lego. Any clever child starts playing with toys on his own. I am shocked that you perceive this as anything but the norm.
You clearly have not amet a really extraordinary child.
Fields for early "prodigy" kind are only music, chess , sports and very rarely drawing-painting. If your child is a future engineer, there is no prodigy option for this kind of talent.
@@MishaSkripach He's been tested, dumbass. He's highly gifted and in elementary school he's working at a high school/collegiate level at school. You are clearly mistaken on what you think you know.
There is little doubt that different people are born with different abilities. Put a child with a particular ability in an environment where the ability is fostered it ought to be no surprise that the child will excel. It follows that there will be some with very high levels of ability and in the appropriate conditions they will rise to the top. if Mozart's father had been a humble shoemaker its doubtful we would ever have had the Marriage of Figaro or any other of his works. My feeling is that there are thousands born with 'special gifts' who because of circumstance never get their foot on the first step of the ladder.
I'm an air hockey prodigy.
We as soul have lived 100's of lives and sometimes....yes sometimes...we carry the memory of the previous life into the present incarnation.
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.
best reporter of all time.
Amazing.
6:55 "One thing is certain, people actually can be child prodigies." None of the kids in this video have extra special natal talent or extra high intelligence or extra special abilities. What they have in common is 1. They were all inspired to do what they are good at at a very early age, usually by watching a parent or other adult. 2. After fooling around with it, they were given lessons in it. 3. Once they got fairly good at it, they continued to get better, because they received praise and special recognition. Mozart, Tiger Woods, Christina Aguilera...all were inspired and trained before the age of three. They were all average kids. This is not simple opinion. These are facts in Child Human Development, Pediatric Psychology and Human Learning Development. Nurture vs. nature.
No.
Talent and encouragement are one thing.
These kids - and others like them - go way beyond talent and hard work.
