Finally - a thread where I have some measure of knowledge! (Freepers - you can't disagree that you can learn a lot just by reading the insight of the many posters on this forum)

When I took up the trumpet at age 9, my music teacher told my parents that I should be a good musician because of my aptitude for math. As I progressed through my teens and early adulthood, I was able to teach myself to play guitar, piano, harmonica and saxophone. I know that I am not better or smarter than other people, I just know that I am blessed with a God-given talent for which I am eternally grateful. It has allowed me to entertain thousands of people throughout my life, and I put playing live music up there with going to the gun range as the one of the most fun things you can do with your clothes on!

On a similar note (pun intended - ;-} ba-dum-bump thank you, I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your bartender), I have many friends who are engineers, computer scientists and medical professionals who are musicians as well. So, there's something to be said for math aptitude vis-a-vis musical inclination.
