How can youthful talent become world-class talent? Talent Abounds
tells the stories of master teachers and their students who raise
performance to peak levels in classical music and conducting, jazz,
opera, modern dance, chess, mathematics, swimming and diving, and
the culinary arts. The book is unique in its scope and depth of
exploration of different fields of endeavor and the individuals who
have shaped them. Readers hear the voices of famous performers,
from Leonard Bernstein to Joshua Bell and Mark Spitz, as they
describe their early family experiences and formative years, the
progression of teachers and coaches they had, their performance
careers, educational philosophy and teaching practices, and their
legacies. Important questions are explored throughout: Is
exceptional talent an innate quality? Even so, does its fulfillment
depend on the intervention of expert teachers? How do social class,
gender, and ethnicity influence access to instructional and
performance opportunities? Can lessons learned in one particular
national and cultural context or in one performance field be
extended to other societies and fields? How does public policy
shape the recognition and development of talent? The concluding
chapter offers insights into how public education can nurture the
talent of all individuals.
