Oclef Daily: EP75 - Does musical talent exist?

We posted a survey on our Instagram and got hundreds of
responses.


The question was:


Does a student need musical talent to succeed in learning music?


The audiences answer was a yes...


57% Yes to 43% No


Any great teacher will tell you that the answer to that question
is obviously no. That's an easy answer. So I guess I need to do a
better job educating our IG community.


But, I am at the point where I'm even questioning if musical
talent exists.


In this episode,


- I go into my personal history


- Briefly talk about perfect pitch


- Discuss soft skills 


- Talk about the 'one thing' keeping me from completely dropping
the idea of musical talent. 


What are your thoughts on musical talent? Does it exist? How do
you know?
