Is talent inherited?

[NameInProgress]

There has actually been a gene discovered that might detremine your I.Q.

However, I don't think that there is a gene that says 'this kid will be good at music'.

Maybe it's not the actual talent that is inherited, maybe it's the requirements, such as good hearing to be able to play an instrument well?
I don't think the environment plays such an important role. If a person has a passion for something, then they'll make the best of whatever resources they have.

i think yes you have to have the genetical disposition but it´s mainly a learning thing. start early and you´ll be successful.
