      @@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia This s because success in children's competitions depends on accurate following of the set of exact teacher's instructions, so it is like tetris. For being an adult soloist, what is required is to create the music on the spot, be able to sound different each time, depending on the occasion. It is a different set of skills.

    Yes, it's about practice but about practising smart, not hard. Finding out what you are doing wrong and correcting it, being efficient and not repeating over and over your mistakes. Those who become child "prodigies" are the kids who have good teachers and good intuition, no miracles here. You can advance faster if you evaluate constantly what you are doing right and what wrong and correcting it.
