The Crystallizing Experience: A Study in Musical Precocity.
Freeman, Cathy
Gifted Child Quarterly, v43 n2 p75-86 Spr 1999
Twenty-four musically precocious boys (ages 10 to 14) were asked questions regarding the crystallizing experience, which is defined as a dramatic event in a person's life that makes inherent giftedness manifest. Results indicated all participants had had a crystallizing experience and that it had improved their self-concept. (CR)
