innopac Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Last night I watched The Europeans and on the dvd was a short documentary called Sweet Sounds (1976) about a music program for gifted 5 year olds at the Mannes College of Music in Manhattan. Does anyone know what happened to those children and if that program continued? Link to comment
carbro Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Mannes College has been absorbed into New School University, which I didn't know until I checked its website. It mentions that there is a program for 4-6 year-olds in is preparatory division. Link to comment

The children who had been chosen in the documentary came from different backgrounds. My assumption from the documentary is that they wouldn't have been paying students but I may be wrong. The program sounded like an experiment and it would be interesting to know what happened to the children. Link to comment
