At what age can you tell if a person has the talent to be a musical virtuoso?
Well, anyone witnessing Zuckerman playing Paganini would recognise virtuoso talent whatever their age. [Waspish face]I know what you mean, but I’m not sure there’s an answer. I think if a child really is going to become a virtuoso musician they will show signs early of a particular aptitude for music - ability to pitch, sing, reproduce sounds very early on. And of course some very small children (particularly in the Far East, it seems) become extremely skilled instrumentalists. But these early signs don’t necessarily mean that a child will become a virtuoso. In fact, quite the opposite. The attrition rate is really high. The amount of practice you need to put in is … massive. Rondo alla Turca at six doesn’t always mean The Transcendental Study at twelve. Far from it.It probably depends also on what you mean by “virtuoso”. There are plenty of really good pianists that aren’t - to me - virtuosi. I tend to think that a to earn that title, a pianist has to be able to play “La Campanella”. It’s a curiously 19th-century concept though of course you need to be a virtuoso (of a sort) to play Messiaen’s Vingt Regards or Boulez’s piano sonatas.The reality is that children and young people can manage the technical skills quite early on, but the musical ability that goes with it takes longer. I’m not sure you’re a virtuoso until you have both; and I’m not sure that you can always be sure that a 10-year-old playing music that is really technically difficult will be a virtuoso at 18.
At what age can you tell if a person has the talent to be a pro athlete?
There is no age. A 10-year-old could be better at basketball than a 15-year-old. Its all about how they play not their age.Get the TooAthletic app!website:TOOATHLETIC TAKESapp:TooAthletic: Watch Sports
Brainstorming session please to help a person age 36 find a suitable job who suffers from Aspergers syndrome?
Take my advice with the biggest pinch of salt you can. Because I have no experience whatsoever with people who suffer from autism or Aspergers syndrome. But your question really touched me, so I did a bit of digging. First, remember that many people with Aspergers go on to gain sustainable and successful employment. It is estimated that there are about 332,600 people of working age in the UK with an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), and of this number an estimated 259,506 are thought to be of average or above average intelligence. A good starting point is to support the individual to find out as much as possible about the job they want to do prior to making applications. If for example, the person has expressed an interest in becoming a hairdresser, encourage them to observe a hairdresser at work and make notes about all the tasks that they are expected to perform. It’s not unusual for the individual to ‘discover’ very quickly that there are aspects of the job that they could never do. This can be a painful process and having to abandon a career option will almost certainly cause distress to the individual. In addition to making enquiries with the Disability Employment Advisor, it is worth doing your own research to find out if other organisations, like local charities and colleges run employment courses. I wish you and your friend the very best of luck.
Do genetics determine someone' athletic ability?
Yes, natural ability, or talent determines if you will be capable of training or developing into an elite athlete. It is obvious that everyone can not become an elite athlete and that some have a skill or ability to be good. No amount of training will make a non-athletic person elite.
At what age can you tell if a child who is taking tennis lessons will be good enough to turn pro in the future?
Very interesting question: it is hard to generalize, but I would say most of the household names you can think of showed promise extremely early. It also takes a tremendous amount of time, effort, and expense to develop and nurture the talent. It does not have to be this way, but it is often the case. In the U.S., if you go to the top national tournaments, almost all of the kids have parents who are either extremely wealthy or are tennis pros themselves. But, keep in mind, the guiding principal of training a junior should not be trying to become a pro — the goal should be to love chasing down EVERY SINGLE BALL and getting it back in play. If you can succeed in making the junior love the game and specifically that aspect of the game, the sky is the limit.To answer your question more directly, Nadal, Djokovic, and Federer would have been crushing the other little kids and older kids before the age of 7 or 8. By 12 or 13, they would have been hard pressed to find grown men (5.0 type club players), who could beat them. By 15 or 16, they would have been beating division 1 college players and giving pros a real challenge.But, just remember — make them love chasing down and returning the ball, one time, ten times, one thousand times — if they have this mentality as young players, they will become a force to be reckoned with. If they want to “win” ir “"go pro” as their motivation, it won't work
How do you define musical talent ?
Musical talent represents the ability to master innovative skills and/or existing techniques. These skills and/or techniques are then shared with an audience in order to be recognized as 'talent', or not.Let's note that musical talent (and talent at large) is relative. E.g. I don't think Lady Gaga is talented because I see in her a bad copy of Madonna, meaning she's not enriching the musical scene; but millions across the world recognize her innovative AND consistent approach to music.
Justin bieber is actually pretty talented?
look, i used to be that guy that was nonconformist, goth type, listened to dark industrial and metal music, i am a musician now, and as a musician, i can say that justin bieber definitely has some good musical ability for the age of 16 that you dont find in most kids, he plays the drums, almost as good as buddy rich, so he definitely can play them well, i also heard he plays piano, guitar and bass, and he sings now personally, i hate his music, and i think it sucks, but i dont think he sucks, i think he is young, and he has accomplished more in his life, than most ever will... im 22 and i make electro house music, i dont hate justin bieber because i first dont know him, and second i am not ignorant enough to just hate somebody for no reason everyone that hates him, is jealous of him on some level, he seems kinda dorky or gay or whatever, but i mean, hes a freakin kid. just leave him alone he has more talent, than any other stars in his age bracket that are tween stars/ thats all i have to say.
