Is it simply a matter of labels? Are we socialized into reserving the label of *prodigy* for fields that are traditionally held high regard? Or is classical music actually more complicated than rap and rock music, therefore warranting the use of the word *prodigy* to describe any child that excels in it?
In: Other
The word prodigy is ascribed to a child who excels in any area, whether that be language, STEM, art, sports – you name it.
