Thread Name: Are men more musical?
Subject: RE: Are men more musical?
I agree with the comment made by Sophocleese - ''Men and women are neither more nor less generally musical than each other.''

As for the mathematical correlation between those good in math and being good musicians, personally I was always terrible at math.

Beyond being quite capable of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, I never got Algebra, Geometry or Calculus, (could never see the so-called logic) and dropped math after grade 9....yet for some unexplainable reason, playing musical instruments proficiently has never posed a problem.

So if there is a correlation, I must be doing it on some sublimnal level.
