Everyone in my family is musical, except, it seems me. Is this something you have in your genes, or is it learned?

i used to be in the same frame of mind as yourself. All my family could either play an instrument or good singing voices except me, or so I thought. Then I realised that because I was the youngest I wasn't encouraged as much as my elder sister & brother were by my parents. I had the same music lessons as them but was always last to get in my practice & then it was bedtime or I was too tired. Please try now, I took up the keyboards when I was about fifty & taught myself to play the kind of music that I liked & though I will never play the Albert Hall I am able to amuse myself & have even played in public ( just for the old folk etc) but it really gives you a sense of achievment & music is music whatever your age. I am post seventy now but still play swing, boogiewoogie , jazz as well as easy classics & am learning all the time. There are lots of easyplay books to buy & you can teach yourself & you will find that once you have picked up a few basic chords ,you will play & enjoy it. Remember to learn for your own sake & not to impress your family but they will be proud of you & probably love it if you ask for their help , most musicians like to be teachers. Good luck, go on "give it a go".   Spinner.
