In summary, prodigies are expected to present brain predispositions facilitating their success in learning an instrument, which could be amplified by their early and intense practice happening at a moment when brain plasticity is heightened.Īdult ability in complex cognitive domains, including music, is commonly thought of as the product of gene-environment interactions, where genetic predispositions influence and are modulated by experience, resulting in the final phenotypic expression. The results are compatible with multifactorial models of expertise, with prodigies lying at the high end of the continuum.
Thus practice, by itself, does not make a prodigy.
The other aspects that differentiated musical prodigies from their peers were the intensity of their practice before adolescence, and the source of their motivation when they began to play. None of the psychological traits distinguished musical prodigies from control musicians or non-musicians except their propensity to report flow during practice. All completed a Wechsler IQ test, the Big Five Inventory, the Autism Spectrum Quotient, the Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire, the Dispositional Flow Scale, and a detailed history of their lifetime music practice. Nineteen former or current musical prodigies (aged 12–34) were compared to 35 musicians (aged 14–37) with either an early (mean age 6) or late (mean age 10) start but similar amount of musical training, and 16 non-musicians (aged 14–34). Here we assess to what extent practice, intelligence, and personality make musical prodigies a distinct category of musician. Despite longstanding interest and fascination in musical prodigies, little is known about their psychological profile. We want the viewers to leave the cinema like they’ve just stepped off a roller-coaster.Musical prodigies reach exceptionally high levels of achievement before adolescence. “The film will be as wild as the band Dark at times, strong changes of pace, it will be a visual assault too, stylistically striking, contemporary and challenging. The documentary is being produced by Pulse Films and directed by Paul Dugdale, who previously worked with The Prodigy on their 2011 live film ‘ The Prodigy: World’s On Fire’ and directed the music videos for the most well-known The Prodigy songs ‘ Take Me To The Hospital’, ‘ Omen’ and ‘ Invaders Must Die’. The group recently confirmed that they are working on their first feature-length music documentary, although neither the release date nor the title has been revealed as of yet. He said: “I know Liam wants to finish The Prodigy album he was doing, I don’t know how far along he is”. In May 2020, The Prodigy’s former dancer and keyboardist Leeroy Thornhill discussed how Maxim and Liam hoped to finish a new album in late frontman Keith Flint ’s honour. The post says: “ New Prodigy studio session beats are rollin”. Now 8 months later, they made their fans excited again, sharing a snippet of a beat-heavy 15-second music accompanied by a video of Liam’s and Maxim’s beaded figures of themselves resting up on a thumping speaker. It featured a photo with the caption “ Studio bizniz this month, back on the beats”. Since 2019, the fate of the genre-defining, renowned British band was uncertain up until a tweet on the official The Prodigy Twitter feed on September 15 last year. Liam and Maxim of The Prodigy shared a touching poem on Twitter in March honoring the tragic loss of their friend and bandmate, and now they took to their socials to tease new music. It has been two months since the dance music community paid tribute to Keith Flinton the second anniversary of his death.
