His Suzuki music teacher, Jim, agrees. “When Ethan told me he wanted to learn all the Chopin polonaises on the piano and violin, I was a little surprised. Even I don’t know those. He’s really got me doing my homework.” In between school, sports, music and art classes, Ethan spends a few hours a week with his personal trainers at the Brain Training Center, learning advanced chess strategies. “Lots of people hire trainers for personal fitness, why not hire a brain trainer to increase your IQ?” says Ethan’s mother, who has had to quit her job so that she can chauffeur him to all his various lessons and school activities. “We’re just lucky to have such a smart, talented boy.”]]>
