I am observing from what has been written here and what I observed around me, is that children's foundation in music is very important...I see that children who are exposed to parents/teachers that teach correctly on pitch, really do have the advantage. I also perceive that people can be blessed with a voice that can sing what they hear too, while others can't sing and thereby, have the disadvantage of not making their voice cooperate to play in tune perfectly. Furthermore, I think this causes others to believe they can't hear at all and have a tin ear. And even more, I think some people in shyness or excitement, lose some of their ability to hear because there might be more of a roaring in the ear because of personal reasons when in public. I really believe that some people have to overcome a lot of setbacks in this way to perform publicly.
But I do believe that some people who start off wrong, like I did playing something out of tune, can learn to play and hear in tune by hearing correctly and making the effort to play an instrument absolutely in tune every time. I believe also that chromatic tuners have helped people beyond, beyond, to get better and "see" things more clearly, what their instrument is doing and what they are doing. Once hearing correctly, the world changes, for the sounds really begin to change and their is an amazing pitch that begins to be heard...it is just wonderful to hear it when one gets to that place. To be in that route of playing, hearing just gets better and better.
I know that through the years, I have only gotten better at hearing properly. I should say, I also grew up in a family where music playing was discouraged in various ways for some reason. Many years later I found out that I had a grandfather that played instruments "and" had a great ear. I say all that because I see that beginnings can be like kind of a joke, but why would God give a person a desire in their heart, and not complete it with the talent or ability? I think He does.
