10. Identified of student who are gifted and talented continues to be
elusive, but experts agree that the identification process should be
one that involves a diverse set of measures including individual
testing, achievement, observation, teacher referral, interview, and
so forth. Although academic giftedness can frequently be spotted
before a child reaches school age, musical talent is more difficult
to assess, especially for the untrained observer. Further, musical
talent can develop only if there is opportunity for it to do so.
Musical talent, therefore, can best be assessed by a music
educator who not only is a musician, but understands child
development and learning theory as well. The role of the music
educator is necessary to provide the opportunity for talent to
develop.

lines of communication open, and strive to develop a
healthy environment that will provide the backing
