Revisiting the Importance of Talent in Music
Manage episode 436334555 series 3429621
If you want to succeed in music, how important is talent? I shared a strong opinion on this way back on Episode 3 of this podcast. I've thought about it a lot since then, and have since changed my mind about some of it but still feel strongly on other points. With the 2024 Summer Olympics being a recent event that featured a lot of developed talent, I thought this would be a great time to revisit the topic. Talent is a real trait that has a real say in what opportunities there are for you in music, but how much? Also, listen to why using "You're so talented" as a compliment to young performers is potentially harmful.
