Musical Prodigies?

Synopsis: Investigates musical talent, or giftedness, in young people. Recent research by Professor Michael Howe and John Sloboda on the development of musical ability is illustrated by mini-portraits of six young musicians at Chatham’s Schoool of Music, Manchester. The research sought to identify the keys to musical abilities - formal, academic and technical skills and the role played by personal qualities and environmental factors, including parental influence. Also discusses the early talent of Mozart and general ideals about the development of giftedness.

At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
