What do Beethoven and Ray Charles have in common? While other children dallied, they were making music. Thirteen musicians from diverse cultures, time periods, and stations in life exemplify the achievements of gifted and determined young people under the age of 25. Students are presented with the inspiring life stories of these budding masters, many of whom were forced to overcome obstacles such as poverty and racism in order to create and share their works with the world. Entries have been carefully selected to represent men and women of various backgrounds, nationalities, and talents to provide a well-rounded sampling of musical geniuses. Teachers and librarians seeking biographies of young prodigies for their students will find a dazzling array of both classical composers and modern-day talents--some for whom little information has been previously published. Each entry concludes with a bibliography of resources for students who wish to further explore the artist.
