PLN Week 9

http://www.musiccognition.nl/blog/2009/10/do-we-all-have-talent-for-music.html

I had forgotten that I had signed up for this blog. I find that this topic is quite interesting. Do we all have a talent for music?

The author of the blog, says that "Yes", we do. All I have to say is wow.

It has never really dawned on me that someone cannot have some aptitude for music. I can see that some people are less talented than others, but then again, that is why we have architects and doctors.

This is such an interesting topic because music is inherent to humans. The need to have music, the want of it, is so intriguing. There is nothing quite like listening to your favorite song, or improvising in your favorite key. There is a magic.

I feel as though the question lies in what people experience when they hear or perform music. And that is what defines their musical ability.

This is a nice blog. Yes, we need music in our lives. How we interpret it, how we appreciate it and how we share it all add to the musical intelligence we have.
