‘Child prodigy’
A child prodigy is a child who very smart at an early age. They can do things that average people do when they are adults.
Child prodigies are often musicians or mathematicians.
A child prodigy does not always grow up to be a world-famous genius. Some of them lose their exceptional gifts in adulthood.
The composer William Crotch was also a child prodigy. He could play GOD SAVE THE KING with both hands on the piano when he was two. But Crotch did not become famous like Mozart. He just grew up to be a good musician.
The composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a child prodigy. He could play the harpsichord when he was three, and by the time he was six his father was taking him on concert tours to show off his son’s talent. Fortunately Mozart did grow up to be a world-famous composer.
There may have been many other child prodigies who never became clever adults at all, or who died before they could become famous. Sometimes their childhoods are very difficult because people expect so much of them.
