Especially something as physical as music, I wonder whether a person can =
be
taught to love it
(if it isn't instinctually pleasurable)?

Humans are the only living thing with musical proclivities. I'm no =
expert, but given that we are the only ones musical, I would think it is =
ingrained. One doesn't have to be taught to respond to it. Babies =
respond without any prodding from anyone. To become literate, so to =
speak, requires study though.
