Question 2

Leo is an accomplished concert pianist. His father was a professional violinist and encouraged Leo throughout his childhood, supervising daily intensive practice sessions before school from the age of 4 years.

Leo is being interviewed about his achievements as a musician. In the interview he says, 'I'm not sure if it is in my genes or just how I was raised. Wherever it came from, I always had this intense, inner drive to play beautifully. In a way, I didn't feel I had any alternative pathway. I was always meant to be a pianist.'

Discuss determinism in psychology. Refer to Leo in your answer.
