Can anyone become musical? Why talent isn’t what you think
“I’d love to play an instrument, but I’m just not musical.”
It’s something I hear all the time — and every time, it stings a bit. Not because it’s offensive, but because it usually comes from someone who’s never really given themselves a proper chance to learn. Or someone who tried once, got frustrated, and decided they simply didn’t have the talent for it.
But here’s the truth: you don’t need talent to play music.
You need time. You need feedback. And above all, you need the belief that becoming musical is something anyone can do — because it is.
