Signs of Music Talent

Signs of musical talent may differ from person to person, but there are some key components that are necessary to succeed as an instrumentalist or vocalist. A sense of rhythm, the ability to hear pitches and the ability to learn music quickly are signs of musical talent.
  1. Sense of Rhythm

    • A sense of rhythm is a good sign of musical talent. Being able to sing or tap back rhythms that are heard is important on any instrument.

    Sense of Pitch

    • A sense of pitch is a good sign of musical talent. Being able to sing back pitches, recognize different pitches in a string of notes and hear chords are signs of musical ability.

    Learning Music Quickly: Sightreading

    • The ability to sightread, playing or singing back music, is a sign of musical talent as well. This is typically what happens in an audition situation where the music on the page must be processed in five minutes or less.
