Music ability comes from genes, not just because of practice

If your family has many gifted people, start practicing an instrument immediately. The reason is because you're luckier than many people born in families who lack . musical talent.

A new study published in the Journal of Psychological Science says that musical talent comes from genes, not from arduous training? . The study was conducted by scientist Miriam Mosing (Sweden) based on 3 criteria of Melody, Rhythm and Height evaluation in the experiment "detecting the ability to distinguish sounds based on musical stimulation" .

In fact, this study was conducted between 1959 and 1985, and it was not until 30 years later that the final result was published. One of the most important findings is the contrast between age and the ability to sound: the higher the age, the better the difference between rhythm and height.

At the same time, the ability of a child to inherit his parents' musical ability is also quite large: Tone 59%, Rhythm 50%, Height 40%. In other words, the ability of you to inherit the ability to play, write music from parents is about 50%.

Gender- dependent genetic factors have absolutely no meaning to musical ability . This means that regardless of whether your father or your mother is good at guitar, you still have a 50% chance to become a good guitarist.

So if your parent has musical talent, don't waste your life gift. Try playing a certain instrument and start nurturing your own talents before you are too old to be able to distinguish different rhythms.
