Is having an "ear for music" a learned trait or do you have to be born into it? If I'm going to use my experience as basis, I'd say it's the latter. I'm curious to know what others think. I mean, I can listen to a piece, then later I'll be able to sing or hum or whistle (sipol) it with little learning effort. But ask me what notes, chords, etc they are and I wouldn't have a clue. So consequently, hindi ko rin sya matugtog sa gitara. May mga nakakapa din naman akong kanta, but it takes me forever!
