music prodigy
Gifted child performer
A music prodigy is a young person, typically a child, who displays exceptional musical talent far beyond what's expected for their age.
The term usually implies not just skill but innate gift—the ability to compose, perform, or master instruments at a level that takes most people decades to achieve: Mozart was the archetypal music prodigy, composing at five.
The label carries both admiration and pressure.
