While at a friend's birthday party last night, I got to chatting with other guests & got on topic of school & music.

Apart from me, 'er indoors & the hostess & partner, none of the others were musical.

Again staggered/ outraged by numbers of people who said at school, teachers had told them they couldn't sing or weren't musical!

How horrendous!

I guess they were then forever persuaded that this was true, so never sang or attempted an instrument.

Anyone similar experiences?
