I am starting this thread as a throw out thought for what some of you might think/feel as to how we learn music/instruments. It has long been a belief of mine that true musical/artistic genius comes with the genetic package we come into the world with. I feel that the really greats in the world come with an innate ability to master their craft. I do believe that many, maybe most of us, can learn to perform well and achieve reasonably high levels of accomplishment, but the truly awe inspiring, soul moving individuals in our lives have come into this world with the special genetic imprints that give them the added well-spring of ability that vaults them into the accomplished result of their art. And how do we account for savants and their impressive display of talent? Just a thought, maybe not worthy of a thread, but have always found it an interesting concept.
