Disabusable Notions

1. I’m not musical

(Alternate: I’ll never be any good anyway)

What is true is that you are not as musical as ______ (fill in the blank with someone more musical than you, from J. S. Bach to Aretha Franklin).

The purpose of music is for you to become who you are, to bring what is inside you into play, to spin a vibrating thread through the world, to spark life. Music is everyone’s birthright, and everyone who wants to can claim it. There will always be someone more musical than you; but there is always more music in you to uncover—more pitches, more rhythms, a finer sense of proportion, a clearer perception of your aural world. I have never seen a person who said of their breath, “That is someone else’s breath,” or a person who did not recognize the music in their own soul once it was shown to them. Even if other people have told you the opposite, the day you claim your innate music is a musical day for the whole world.
