TEENS
1.6Prodigies are people with excellent skills in
areas such as art or music. Very often, they are
experts even before they become teenagers.
Fourteen-year-old Alma Deutscher is a music
5 prodigy. She took up piano lessons when she was
only two. On her third birthday, she got a violin as a
birthday gift. After she tried to play it for a few days,
her parents found her a teacher. When she was six,
she wrote her first piece of music. Now she
10 performs at concerts around the world.
In many ways, Esther Okade is a typical 14-year-old.
In other ways, she is not! She is a math prodigy. She
started to learn math when she was three. When
she was 10, she started college. She also writes
15 math books for children. Esther’s dream is to have
her own bank!
Are prodigies born with their skills, or do they just
practice a lot? Scientists believe it’s both. Prodigies
have special talents. But they also practice a lot to
20 improve their skills. Often, their parents have to tell
them to take a break from their hobbies to eat,
sleep, or go to school. Alma, for example, practices
and writes music for five hours a day.

Esther Okade

in college.
