“…Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded by two independent raters. For more details on the data collection, see Jarvin and Subotnik (2010), Subotnik and Jarvin (2005), and Subotnik et al (2003a). By comparing responses from students, faculty, and gatekeepers related to musicians in their early, middle or achieved professional career stages, we developed the developmental model described in Table 1.…”

First we describe one particular model of talent development (Jarvin and Subotnik in The handbook of secondary gifted education. Prufrock Press, Waco, 2006) and situate it in perspective to other models developed in North America and Europe. We then discuss the implications of this view of giftedness on education and review related resources and approaches available in North America and Europe. We will conclude with the need for further international coordination in our understanding and promotion of talent development.

“…To maximize its benefits and minimize its harms, musically gifted students should learn to face success and failure in competitions, being humble in success and resilient in failure. According to Jarvin and Subotnik (2010), persistence through good and bad times is of paramount importance for all the stages of a music career. Musically gifted students should also conquer their feelings of inadequacy and maintain a high level of self-confidence in competitive environments.…”

“…The importance of psychosocial components is increasing as music students are progressing to the advanced level. According to Jarvin and Subotnik (2010), social skills, regarded as a form of professionalism in the field, are significant for the middle and later stages in musicians' careers. Aspiring musicians need to familiarize themselves with the competitive nature of professional music, and know when and how to promote themselves in the public.…”

“…Aspiring musicians need to familiarize themselves with the competitive nature of professional music, and know when and how to promote themselves in the public. They also need to learn to do networking in the field controlled by teacher, agents, and other gatekeepers (Jarvin & Subotnik, 2010). Accordingly, musicians should properly develop social skills when they are still at school.…”

The dilemma of competition encountered by musically gifted Asian male students: an exploration from the perspective of gifted education

Due to the crucial role of competition in advanced performance, musically gifted students are more likely to experience competitive conditions compared with students in regular classes. However, there is a surprising paucity of research on the relationships between competition and musical giftedness. Through a research design of a qualitative multi-case study, this study explored the daily experiences of seven musically gifted Taiwanese adolescent males enrolled in competitive gifted music classes. The data collection activities involved in-depth interviews, document review, observation of participants' musical performances, phone conversations with participants' teachers and parents, and participation in identification and placement meetings. After analyzing the rich data, five competition-related themes emerged, namely, tacit competition in music achievement, utilitarian training, feelings of inadequacy, denial of natural giftedness in most of their classmates, and critical comparisons made by parents and teachers. The findings and implications are discussed with the intent of meeting the educational needs of musically gifted students.

How can high potential in childhood be transformed into outstanding adult accomplishment? Research indicates that individuals who become outstanding performers and producers have more than just raw talent in the domain or opportunities to develop their talent—they have the will, drive, and focus to take advantage of the opportunities with which they are presented, and the capacity to persist through failures even as the bar for success gets higher. Despite the importance of these psychosocial facilitators, they are among the least well understood in the field of gifted and talented research. In this study, we reviewed existing literature in order to build comprehensive list of the psychosocial variables associated with talent development across domains (visual art, dance, sports, academics, music, acting, medicine, and software engineering). With the help of psychologists with expertise in these domains, we completed an initial categorization of these skills and asked the experts to indicate at which of the three stages in talent development—the transition of abilities into competencies, competencies into expertise, and expertise to creative productivity or eminence—each psychosocial skill was important. We found promising general patterns of commonality as well as variation by domain and stage of talent development, and discuss the implications of this study on future research into psychosocial skill development.
