Music is not an 'innate talent', it is actually something you have to simply practice for years. If there's one thing that needs to die it's the idea that there's some kind of magic involved in musical talent that ordinary folks can't tap into - the dexterity is learned and the understanding is learned. The drive is internal. Anyone can do it.
Music is an innate talent. I can read music and play piano, rudimentary guitar, and a bit of drums, but I have no ability to play by ear. I have practiced piano and guitar a ton, but no matter what I do I have had to either read a chart or specifically memorize a sequence in order to play anything. Some people have the ability to hear a song and replicate it on an instrument. That is a talent.
