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...

56% 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?
