ah, she survived oh spits, thanks to music. ah, he was the nazi's favorite conductor. he is morally degenerate to musicians under the swastika, a documentary about the sounds of power, inspiring story about survival of the home and go get the tennis. i was the only one what lighted? look. music in nazi germany. watch now on youtube. d. w documentary. ah. just to manage that at 8 years old. that even looking at it today at $42.00. he comes close to that strange 10 honda came from because like, oh, musical child prodigies. take our breath away. the quest,

the musical perfection is their top priority. when close of my goal is to play carnegie hall, it just blew the extraordinary challenge often appears very early. this yes, to my eyes. i 1st started saying canon when i was to, i started playing in compose to whole piece company at the cliches is the child. prodigy is a lonely, with few friends and a drilled to perfection. contact talk to i don't to cry under pressure not to shake under pressure that there are kids 567 years old who get incredible migraines, off to concerts. i did to, i fell much miracle. is there in highly talented children? are they born with these extraordinary abilities? we talked to form a child prodigy as well as a human development researcher and music psychologist and the music historian.

ah, german star violinist david garrett is one of today's most successful crossover musicians. his fusion of classical and pop films, holes and stadiums around the world, which by music for me, music has always let me breathe, given me energy and joy at her yet. and i give plus my whole thing. the violin was a means to an end. i was good at it. i learned to play fairly quickly, then allen, that of course i also worked hard, hama, oh, he's jenny, with the violin began at full ye is owned by the gale griffin, nice to sons, talent, and started teaching him. ah, david took giant stamps and gave his 1st solo concerts with an orchestra at the age

of 9. and you're very aware of all the hours he spent on each night that you've worked really hard for it. us housed opposite. listen hard on the notes is one thing that what makes a child prodigy? there isn't any doubt that the children have natural capabilities that are very rare. it also requires the efforts of those around the child to be equally focused on, equally dedicated and equally wides. about how to support and promote that talent. david's father invested in him, his career broke records. at 13, he was the youngest musician ever to be signed by renowned classical music label to which a grammar phone for several albums. david has worked with stars like conductor claudio

a battle. so been mehta and violent virtuoso yahoo! the menu hain at that, he'll feel like a burden to you growing up. hayden tuck every day up. absolutely can oh kid willingly sacrifices the time it takes to reach the top the my there's always someone in the background whether it's the mother i father, all the teachers. it's in the money went in for the motor audit photo would i deliver about i $1.00 of those 3 is always then my slippery hand and empathy. what's it like to be a gifted child? can they still have a childhood? ah, in peters honda, near berlin, miles and medics govern the families daily life. simona ma select is driving her

sons to piano and violin lessons to day. one of 7 lessons per week. she says she often gets judged. i get labeled as a pushy mother who keeps her po, kids away from life and forces them to practice the piano and violin. i've also seen some one on facebook, say the best way to make money is with small children. people ignore the fact that it takes money, time and nerves. they see what they want to see, but i'm home. my mom is just as little as she was going to head, nurturing her children's talents is a full time job for this single mother. in berlin, concert pianist and he's a vet of lumina, has been teaching medics and miles for about 4 years. the boys cannot imagine living without piano and violin. i mean, these are silly, then you're in even does he, if we see like here that there's nothing without music, then i have to do everything to make sure that they have the groundwork to decide

later if they want this or not on concrete, untrodden beliefs of uletha door politeness. o let it's johan has known this focus on music since childhood. the 19 year old has already performed on many major stages and is considered a highly gifted pianist. ah, my brother, 13 year old philip is also a talented pianist. and, and i might have all his in a normal week, we practice a lot. we have rehearsals, sometimes concerts. we spend $34.00, sometimes 5 days at the university in belgium. target in that one. if i bring in vegan, ah, the siblings are multi talented. the teacher started school aged for and finished high school. at 14, she studies at a conservatory in belgium, as does philip. they've never known the kind of schooling that other children have . manish woodside to which the way i describe my time at school should photo is

that i always stood out to find been busy. and i only had to say half a sentence and everyone knew i was a bit different. i live, okay. and is and visit unless alicia and christian han arranged their lives around their children's needs. i have to be flexible and they were cows or intensive support would be impossible. and that takes energy and my eyes, if you, they normally play about 60 concepts per year, right? now there are more abroad in japan, china, and south america. she not only ah, medical practices, the piano, 3 to 4 hours a day. he repeats the variations on a theme by violin virtuoso paganini until every note is perfect. this hardly a music competition. he hasn't one and has accumulated more than a 100 prizes so far. as good time,

i never get to the point where i'm completely happy with the way i play. it's a frame. maddox is a fast learner and has an insatiable hunger for knowledge. he needs to work on complex tasks and even as a toddler, that was already challenging for his parents about the school. i'm glad when he got ward, which often turned into screaming and tantrums, that would sometimes last for 20 minutes. because if you could see that, he just didn't know what to do with herself. but his godfather told us he's under challenged. he needs activity and input for his brain already so smart that he needs a difference to me. listen. and that's why music came in. at the age of 3, medics played his 1st melodies on the piano. it may even be, although there's no way to know yes for sure. that child prodigy is in the music. have as a natural endow with a preference for music as their primary way of communicating with the world more

than speech and language and more than any other area. but whether it's that or not, it's certainly very powerful. and it drives for medics was already giving his 1st concerts. ah, and at 7 he played a concert at the prestigious mozart, you music academy in san austria, medics and miles have been taken out of normal schooling. it's a decision that can actually be beneficial for musically gifted children, because now it won't grasp fillings, fos done. he doesn't need to spend 6 hours at school if he can get it done in one or 2 i'd o, that's why we said he doesn't have to do the time in school. he can learn at his own pace when it suits him with inside of and that also gives him enough time to prepare for concent site and competitions for life. since he doesn't have to spend as much time in school. good site often,

but for the short of their world is not the same as your world or my world. it's a different kind of experience, and it has to be dealt with in its own way so that they often isolate themselves so that they can focus and the outside world will look at that is something that is objectionable, but it may be necessary. david garrett's father may show his son's childhood could be completely devoted to the violin, music, education, concerts, and studio recordings with the highest priority. he got david, both the best teachers and meetings with the most important decision makers in the music industry. in his recently published biography, if you only knew david guy describes, among other things, a childhood without children o c k advice. and also as i thought i was definitely an outside o o d i and i was a child in an adult profession kind. it's not usually

a profession done by kids at self, he'd say, if it were, it would be called child labor amenities, my dad of course, he can't call it that up in the form, but i was only surrounded by adults. i was only 13 years, but the conversations at the record company were with adults in with the directors to conductors, the teachers and the patrons after the concerts. everyone around me was an adult audience and done it set up. if he does, alice of accident does. i'm and you never wanted to break away boil with a will fun it from white. my does it a wooden ben? why didn't even know i was in something you could break out of the can fog light. i had no comparison. this is he but i when you grow up in a shoe box and you don't know any one outside of the shoe box in south, that shoe box is the world to box. he this david kept exceeding audience expectations. but that didn't save him from his father's criticism, a hat as if he were talking, he put

a lot of emphasis on me understanding very quickly what he didn't think was good. so he always made his own recordings of the concerts. my director of cannon moved out on the car ride home, we listened to it through the speakers and of course he immediately began voicing his criticism like the critic pumped garza. ah! he's looking back. he believes he never would have made it to the top of the ultra exclusive, classical music business without his father's perfectionism and pressure that my neighbor, he made my life possible. lucas, the mouth of the ha ha in a hard way of him. but mozart didn't have it any easier once, nor did paganini,

lice i got in comparison, i was probably handled with kid gloves, but i know they were beaten, black and blue isn't. i'm pretty sure about that customer. there was not every gifted musician experience as a child would have pressure and sacrifice. not all of them become stars, but they do have one thing in common. it's that they've always been fascinating. throughout history, there have been many musical geniuses whose talent was considered otherworldly by contemporaries like bach, beethoven and handle those sticks in the middle of the paper were more religious in the 18th century and associated something divine with the concept of these miracle children. that sentiment is probably a bit lost on us nowadays, although the term miracle is to use to describe them. and i think it still influences our perception of this phenomenon in august for one child prodigy most people will know is vulcan. on the day of mozart, born in 1756,

he wrote his 1st compositions. at the age of 5, his father leopold recognized his son's extraordinary talent early on and began to promote him publicly. the script and belief on there is a letter from leopold mozart where he basically says that a miracle had taken place in salzburg and that god had caused a prodigy to be borne that had his choice of words makes me think of the nativity story with a kind of musical savior having entered the world as he lies on my not was a casual highland of david is in saigon for alice. and i'm, it's like instagram the own. it was all fake. even back in the 18th century form, he just used these stories to fill the newspapers to create some vase of creating an image. the truth. absolutely. ah, put the whole concept of the child prodigy just be the result of the play, the piano campaign. his father made

a profit by taking 7 year old wolfgang on extensive concert toys and most guns passingly upon there is no doubt that leopold mozart was a shrewd businessman. he wrote somewhere and we must do this now because in 2 years time this ora will be gone. it was the old mozart gets, the more his child prodigy status will fade. leopold mozart knew that he had to act quickly. schnell again, vulcan armidale, smote sought the prototype of a child prodigy. also in terms of his talent. there's a long history, for example, of trying to, to her tray mo, charges having had gifts or protean across many different fields. the reality is that mozart was unbelievably ugly, gifted in his musical, allen's but he wasn't particularly adopt in anything else. and that's more typical of the child prodigy, a conductor, daniel, baron boy,

maiden name to himself in childhood. both is a piano player and a conductor. he was already studying conducting at the age of 10, but his reported to have once said that he was never a child prodigy. he merely got off to who to go to diplomatic from, to put it diplomatically. if you take someone who is wonderfully talented and combined that with a lot of work, it can come across as if it's something incredible on good all pieces. this them on the i letting smithing. but once you have a loop behind the scenes and you know how much work goes into it, it doesn't seem like a miracle at all that they became a child prodigy, one that can help me for the envelope. but how exactly can we define a prodigy? and is this such a thing as natural talent? can any chance become a music wanda? ah, it's just not true. you could take any child and if you work hard enough at it,

you could lose the highest levels of achievement that just is not true. interestingly, a child i q plays little to no roman explaining musical talent, professor feldman to find some musical prodigy is someone who from the age of 10 can perform at the same level as an adult professional and has the necessary dispositions. one of those is that your child has a natural affinity for music and a natural ability to, to perform, to compose or to be, to be in the musical world. in addition, the child has to have the discipline, has to have a tendency to focus and to be persistent for the wound. kin needs to have the potential to achieve outstanding things. however, in order for it to happen, the environment needs to be chest right. either if it's on this definition of

gifted, that is having the potential to achieve something great is pretty much hypothetical . there are lots of ifs and buts and you need the right conditions. someone who has just started to play an instrument won't be pulling off the top to performance from the get go. but in some cases, it is possible to see a trajectory forming and predict what the next 5 years might bring. the longest license. ah, behind the scenes, most child products have highly invested parents. they are the ones that with this support, see their children progress in the vital 1st stages of development. would you settle for this fall in or is solar the only option? only solo. only solo. and if that doesn't work out within the canton would, and if not, well, i don't know why shouldn't it? ah, and a sophie motto was right. she's been at the very top tier in the world violin for

almost 4 decades now. and so she had her 1st violin lessons at the age of 5. since then she hasn't put the instrument down. he she is at age 10. 0 my last look. i think if you're lucky enough to discover something early on, that makes you happy and have the opportunity to do it professionally. i've been, it doesn't really matter how long you get to be in that profession. see me 10 years or 50 plus 50 or are, can i from my parents fully supported, answer the right from the start and at any cost, ah, in on some fall isn't, is money. we spend a few 1000 marks a year on anna. so fees, musical education was look like we never force anything on her lee. we let her develop her skills as she sees fit, certify she herself,

wants to be violinist more than anything save our role is to make sure that she has all the opportunities and can follow the path she wants to take and hope you're feeling okay. and a sophie motto was just 13 years old when conductor herbert from carrion, discovered her becoming her mental, the beginning of a fairy tale career that continues to this day without the initial support of her parents. none of this might ever have happened. the choke had, have all the talent in the world and in the wrong family in the wrong circumstances was wrong. teachers, it will not happen. the situation becomes problematic when parents live vicariously through their children. encouragement and support continued to drilling and coercion, the childhood of chinese pianist lang lang, was one marred by poverty and a despotic father help. and when promoting his talented on his early years were characterized by ruthless discipline and constant. philip, japanese violinist,

missouri was also subject to immense pressure growing up under a strict and ambitious mother. at the age of 14, she was already working with the likes of leonard bernstein bidding her early twenties. she suffered a mental breakdown so severe that it took a whole 6 years and several hospitalizations before she could find her way back to music. that there's always a danger in putting children under this kind of pressure. it can quite easily become detrimental and not conducive to a successful career. but individuals react to outside influence very differently. how they develop then is down to psychological predispositions, vision and dogs, which will, oh, but talon needs to be nurtured. the question facing parents like simona ma select to what extent it's undeniable that maddox and miles live for their music and their performances. they have to at the globe for countless concerts and competitions.

beat in israel, or a competition at london's royal albert hall. working with the prodigy is a different kind of parenting than it is or most of their children. it means that for example, a family will sacrifice in living where they live and travel half way across the world to go to the place where they believe that child will have the best opportunity with a single mother, caring for not one but 2 highly talented sons. means around the cook, support. ah, have you until they've done guyana lessons. violin lesson. you singing lessons, composition lessons, and all the wrestling home one day. you have to go get him. you though the next you have to go get a violin. thank you. have to pay half a concepts and competitions. it's a lot to do. what does that leave any time for you?

like no time for me, miles and medics were made for the stage. and it's already clear to them where they are headed. all the way to the top. that often will be on the big stage as soon enough happening. club. my close, my goal is to play carnegie hall hard to school. but a korea isn't guaranteed in this highly competitive world. most child, prodigy say good bye to the idea of becoming a professional musician before they reach adulthood. ah, what was missing, but you have to know what to do with that kind of talent. how to use it to something that fulfills you and makes you happy. i was greatly smart today as a young adult. let's johan is sure. one thing being a pianist is her cooling. it's mixed to an inclusion music with the wounds because it's what i enjoyed. we could still express myself. it's a kind of language without word disorder, finished with david as a mother. i don't support my children in what they do. that's disruptive,

and we didn't want that boy. oh, david garrett had to learn to withstand the daily pressure from his parents. after all, an international career and music required perfection day after day. ah, they have been each dick with you, am i to criticize how my parents raised me and when it's made my i don't live so much easier is on this lean daughter. it's essentially an ethical question either with hog would you rather have a relax childhood only to struggle through the rest of life afterwards, and sponsors will are lacking or do say, okay, maybe my childhood wasn't ideal, but life got easy afterwards because of it. think that you answer me that either by da faster the sleep, none of their life. but unfortunately, dude, us is good. it is a child. you can't consciously make that kind of decision on your own was allowed

me true. but i also can't look back and say was the wrong decisions. i just can't ah, so what does it all boil down to in the end? the challenge for the child prodigy and the child prodigy family is to bring that towel to its full expression. it requires deep knowledge and understanding and he can finish to the best way to navigate a child's upbringing and education. it's like this to cultivate their self confidence. parents need to give their children the courage to take risks and find their own way, skipped the best parents and best teachers don't put the child into circumstances where that child's sense of development is distorted. it's tricky because ah, synagogue children should be allowed to enjoy being young. i do everything i can to

make sure medic from miles have their time off time where they can be kids like the others aren't on one foot. shake, sad fate has been incredibly good to me, but i've worked hard to get where i am now. but i am also aware that i've been very, very lucky right time. right place. my past hasn't always been easy, but i wouldn't change a single moment because it put me here today. ah, with ah, with

ah, with i no one does coastal protection better than the dutch small wonder because large parts of the netherlands lie below sea level. the threat of flooding has long and still the spirit of innovation here, making the country
