Details or Sample:
Being told that one has no musical talent can be emotionally and psychologically damaging to a person, and influence decisions to pursue music as a hobby or career. While there are other types of hobbies and careers that require skill and savvy, few seem to elicit the same negative emotional response as the belief that one is not musically talented or inclined.

There are those of us who are athletes, mathematicians, physicians, educators, scientists, business executives, etc. If a person is not good at math or is not able to run fast for example, there may be feelings of inadequacy that can affect the person’s viability in fields related to these skills. When someone is not good at music, particularly singing, there are the added components of ridicule and criticism (perceived or quite real).

This may have an even greater negative effect on one’s desire to pursue the arts than when deciding whether or not to pursue a traditional career discipline. Musical talent represents much more to people than just the ability to create attractive sounds. There’s a tremendous emotional component. Having musical talent vs. not having it may influence a person´s feelings of self-worth due to talent being associated with a certain glory evident in our culture today.
