Amen to that! My sister got every ounce of musical talent in our family. I can't carry a tune in an airtight bucket.

much of music can be taught...

in my experience, music itself is about 95% technique and 5% talent and natural aptitude.

for example, you can teach someone with absolutely no ear for it how to play piano very well. You teach them notes and chords and theory and where to put their fingers and when. However, you can't teach them how to play it excellently, because excellence comes from a love for the art, and the ability to really feel the music.

singing is a little different, but unless someone is tonedeaf (which is a medical diagnosis, not someone who just can't sing, but a true inability to distinguish between pitches) you can teach them how to sing the right notes at the right volume with the right words. what you can't teach is that little extra spark that comes from inside that makes that difference.

much of music can be learned in the same way math or kenpo can be, but in my experience, there's just something about it that has to be there already, because that little bit can't be taught.

Right on Man. God didn't give me the talent to sing or dance. This is why I stick with martial arts.

If I am forced to dance then I do martial arts on the floor.

I get by, no real cool guy, but at least I am moving

Me too!

But whats really annoying is when you are doing Kata's or Patterns or whatever your art does and the girl goes "Oh so its just like a dance!". I have to stop and tell her that if this was the case then I would actually be quite a good dancer :shrug:

No I don't watch the guys. What I was referring to was the guys on the floor trying to impress all of the women on the floor. Hence trying to rub up on any and all women they can bouncing from one to the other.

Some guys Dance, othes buy them drinks, others yet will talk to them and appeal to their intellectual sides. All in all it is one Dance to try and get to another dance!
