I've got bogged down in a thread which came from someone marvelling at the "natural" talent of someone who is good at music.

Music is innate. We can all do it. Look at any group of 4 year olds singing a nursery song with no formal training. We get that notion beaten out of us

All this talk about geniuses and having an "ear for music" or having a "god given talent" are bollocks ... people who are good at music as adults never stopped singing it, playing it, doing it. They did it over and over again because they loved it. And it became second nature.
