What things do you do well? Julian Lage plays the guitar. He plays better than most people his age.
Some people say Julian is truly a guitar whiz. When he was 13 years old, he already played with some of the top guitar players in the country. He also made recordings with them and performed at a number of music festivals. He even appeared live on television for the 2000 Grammy Awards Show, which gives prizes to the country's excellent musicians.
Julian was five when his father brought home a guitar. Just one year later Julian astonished people with his amazing talent. He played the guitar very well. A movie about Julian's special skills was made in 1997. It was calledJules at Eight. Julian works hard to play even better. He practices five to eight hours each day. Julian also works on his music with a guitar teacher.
When does Julian have time for school? Instead of going to school, he is taught at home. He does his schoolwork first in the morning so that he can spend the rest of the day on his music.
Julian is not sure what he will do when he grows up. For now he is happy just to play his guitar.
