[quote=Anonymous]So you know the math and music thing isn't always the case. Rhythm is more easily understood if someone can appreciate math. But talent is very different than musicianship. I went to conservatory and there's a number of my friends who sucked at math. My son is good at math but struggles with piano because he has a hard time learning notes. My daughter sucks at math and has like zero rhythm but she can play anything because she can sightread like nobody's business. She can't play it right but if you model the rhythm she has an ear and gets it quickly. So there you go - math certainly helps but music is another language. My daughters ear really helps her. She also has deep executive functioning skills which means that she can practice less than most because she gets how to practice. Coupled with excellent memory, piano is easier for her than for most. That has nothing to do with how far she'll go because you still have to love it :) [/quote]
