[quote=Anonymous]Sara MacLaughlin actually received her contract at a very early age.  I don't define prodigy as a strong talent.  You have to have something more than simply high talent which many do - from Mick to Whitney.  Prodigy is someone like Pricne who played every instrument.  He couldn't actually read music.  He had no formal musical training nor knowledge - he didn't understand how music theory worked.  He played by ear and was able to make music with all instruments from a young age.  It's not about PP suggesting his music wasn't important until later until later age - it's that he was doing it at all from such an early age!  Another prodigy would be Lang Lang who played exceptionally from an early age.  I took a master class from him and I would say he is a genius in the sense that he knew how to express music in a way that goes above interpretation and formal training.  For me, a prodigy is someone not just gifted but possesses something beyond explanation.  A great voice is a great gift.  A prodigy has more.[/quote]
