My child is considered an outlier AMA

[RomanyRoots]

I know he/she (which I will alternate) is talented, but have been told this only recently.
Be kind please and AMA

What do you actually mean? An outlier to what?

I didn't know, was on the child's school report.
Child is way beyond their years in Music.

Well if you don’t know, how can we Aya?

How can we AMA if you can't answer what you mean?

Why are you alternating pronouns?? How old is your child and do you have plans to encourage this musical ability? Will be interesting to see if they also end up good at maths as there is said to be a correlation between music and maths.

Eh, so someone told you your kid is good at music, ama? Is that the jist?

An outlier just means they’re not following their projected attainment curve. An outlier doesn’t have to be talented, they can be massively struggling too. Equally, they might just have had a bit of a leap.

How old is your child?

I'm not sure you've thought this through.

What area in music.... Playing an instrument?

What would we ask you? You just told us the whole story!

I'm not sure what you mean about alternating pronouns.
Alternating him/her or using child, as they can be easily identified.

yes, the musical ability is being encouraged, the child is 14, and quite bad at maths. In this case no correlation but we have come across this more than once.

It's hard to explain without sounding vain, but they meant stands alone, away from other peers in a particular way.

An outlier just means outside of the normal curve. You can be an outlier in anything and it can be equally good or bad, or just a little good or little bad.

It’s more relevant to, say, KPIs in a work environment than your child really?

So outlier is the wrong word to describe them? I’m sorry OP I’m still not sure what you’re saying about your child and what sort of questions we could ask about them

'my child is an outlier ama'
'what does outlier mean?'
'I don't know'

you've kind of fallen at the first hurdle there

Oh, I thought you meant outlander and was hoping they could time travel

No, the child is already with child proteges, they are his/her peers.
Already very gifted to begin with.

How musically able are they. What sort of nusic; playing instruments or composing. Any musical qualifications or achievements.

Or have you literally just be told he/she/They are a bit good by a school teacher?

My child is G+T in music.

Coulda just said that.

Are you a music teacher/professional, and did they start early - would be my two questions

OP, 14 is quite old for a musical prodigy. If they aren’t already performing at a significant orchestra/ attending a specialist music school they’re not likely to get much out of it at their age.

I thought it meant someone with a sticky-out tummy button

It says beyond the G&T school she/he attends.
Yes, lots of achievements and qualifications.
Receiving masterclasses from prominent educators, studying harmony at PG level.
The type of music is classical singing, but child plays several instruments to Diploma level.

How were they introduced to music and what age did they start?

My dh is a professional musician (for a living)
I was a talented youngster, like our child, but didn't take it any further.
Being in the Music Industry for a long time has helped us, I'm sure.

It must be bliss instead of the beeps and grunts my DC make.

Is there a family trait?

Sorry OP I’m still giggling at the use of outlier as though anyone would’ve known you were talking about a music prodigy 🤣
