When they didn't really ever practice enough to make that conclusion.
Oh, I see. I don't know...I think though, what I'm saying is that there is still a musical aptitude. Yes, it takes thousands of hours of practice, but some people have the aptitude for it and others don't, no matter how hard they may practice.
but some people have the aptitude for it and others don't, no matter how hard they may practice.
How do you know that's true? I've never met anyone who could not play no matter how hard they tried.
I think it's something people who just never tried hard enough like to say
I don't doubt some people have an aptitude for it and others don't. But that doesn't mean those who don't can't ever play or learn. I think it just means they have to try harder.
My thoughts on this are because I've heard people all my life say they could never play. And I've never heard anyone who practiced a lot and actually tried say that.
I don't think you get what I'm saying, TV. I could learn. Sure. Like learning to type. Or write. That doesn't mean I'd be good at it. It doesn't mean I could think musically. It doesn't mean I could compose creatively or theoretically. Memorize chords or notes or whatever? Sure, that's just muscle memory. That's not aptitude. Know what I mean? I think anyone could learn to play upside down or backwards or whatever, given enough time or determination or practice. But here's my guess: If you have musical aptitude, it would be more natural, more intuitive, and not such a slog. Just my thought about it. Like math. I can't do it. I can memorize formulas and equations, but I don't 'get' it.
I get what you're saying exactl.y I'm pretty much saying the same thing. I hate for people to think they can't play music when they actualy can. But they think you have to. Be gifted....you dont .
Well then, it's kinda like singing. Anyone can do it, but you wouldn't PAY most people to do it for you. Only the "gifted".....
