My grandson is very musical. When he was about 5, he started taking piano lessons but his teacher told my daughter she was wasting her money. He could hear a song and go play it. He was composing songs, too. Some people just have gifts from God. His aunt, my late daughter was the same way but her instruments were all of the clarinets. We went through her trying to play the violin but that was not her instrument. I can not play anything although I did play at the baritone horn in high school. I wanted to be in the band, met the director and he asked me what I played. I then asked what he needed and the bh was his answer. As a teen I knew I could do anything so that is what I learned to play. Some more great memories!
Yes, it is a gift from god, any one who does not have it can practice all their life and never be very good but some one who has it can not be held back.
I have been around musicians most of my life but could never play anything except some times a radio, my brothers and sisters the same way.
My mother could sing and was offered a job on the radio station but they never had no way to get her to town and back so she lost the chance.
The brothers played the Ernest Tubb, Roy Acuff and Gene Autry music, one of them played a fiddle, the other two played guitars.

His teacher probably never had it.
