I was wondering, I have a student who been playing since he was 15 and now he is 17 and currently finishing playing Grieg concerto in A minor, is he consider a child prodigy or has exceptional talent.

Its very curious you say that. I started playing at 17 and played the Grieg concerto and 19. And am now in a high level conservatory with similar repertoire. No one has ever considered me a prodigy I think, but I like to think that this and the similar condition of your student is the result of exceptional talent. (And a lot of practice let me add). I played the trumpet before though, since I was a child. Neverthless 5 years ago I was playing Anne Magdalene's Notebook and the C major Clementi sonatina.

:)

Id love to contact your student, I've never met someone similar to me in that way.

For a good laugh, check out my posts in the audition room, and tell me exactly how terrible they are :)

 ::)  Bernard, why you says that ??? As long as we are still alive every morning when we open our eyes we should be Happy  :) and not forgetting you are great in bringing alot of men's dreams to be a good pianist plus so much contribution here in this forum.  I am sure many have benefited from most of your opinions/tips and I am one of them  (even though just 2 mths learning) :o
