very good but not inclusive enough.......2005-07-12

i picked this up because it's the sort of thing that wasn't available to me when i needed it years ago and i was curious. i'm impressed with the career advice given, although far too many pages are devoted to getting into college. every gifted kid (possibly every kid) is going to be inundated with grades/college stuff without this book. i particularly like that the authors address subjects which can be touchy or entirely skipped over in some environments, such as drinking, drugs, sex, depression and teen suicide.

however, while the book spends a bit of time on special issues for gifted girls, gifted boys, and gifted minority students, and even includes a list of suggestions of 'ways to fight racism in your school', it makes no mention whatsoever of sexual orientation. gay, lesbian, and bisexual teens are at special risk for depression and suicide due to actual social rejection and/or feeling like it's not okay to openly be themselves. they are also well represented in the gifted population. to deal with both issues simultaneously is something that deserves a special word or two, just as minority students' concerns were so thoughtfully addressed.

if this book is updated, i hope the authors will include this issue in the section on dealing with prejudice. its omission tends to send the wrong message. i was thinking of buying copies of this for some young teenagers i know, but if i have to write notes in the margins before giving them out... well, let's just say i'm still deliberating.

Excellent Book.......2001-07-11

This was truly an excellent book for any teen who is gifted. I've been gifted since I was very young and I've never fit in with any of the other kids. I've always been much more mature and on a much higher level than the rest of the kids my age. This book showed me that I should be proud about being gifted, and shouldn't worry about fitting in. This is a must read for any gifted teen.

My son was thrilled to receive this book. He immediately began to see himself described in every chapter. He has always felt different and out of sync with his peers. This book helped him to understand himself and feel good about his "gift".

This book makes you feel good about being "gifted" - you know you aren't the only one around in that situation. A lot of nice examples, and it's very uplifting. Too bad it couldn't cover overseas examples though.

Book Description

This lively book can help young people with some of the hassles involved in learning an instrument. It is filled with practical tips from older teens and from professional musicians, including Wynton Marsalis, Paula Robinson, James Galway, Andre Watts, Joshua Bell, and Evelyn Glennie, who tell how they handled learning-an-instrument problems as kids--and how they deal with some of those same issues today.

A very good book for all ages who want to play an instrument. If only I would follow their advise. Maybe.... reads easy and flows well. I recommend it. Thumbs up, a must own for your library.

Wonderful Book for Beginner/advanced/intermediate Players.......2002-06-06

What a wonderful book for young students (and older students!) I teach private trumpet lessons to students ranging in age from 10 to 18 and they all enjoyed looking at it while waiting for their lesson to begin. Lots of great tips and like the title suggests a "Survival Guide".

BRAVO !!

Excellent Book for parents, students, and teachers.......2000-07-14

This book is filled with practical easy to read information about what it means to learn music. As a music teacher, I find this book to be a great tool for parents and students. It teaches the basic aspects of what is involved in learning a musical instrument. It is also written on a level that schoolage students can understand. I found it to be simple to read, yet very informative and enjoyable. I am going to recomend it to my students - especially the Jr. High students who seem to have lost motivation. I may even assign them chapters to read and intergrate it into my lessons.
