This is accurate. Many people claim to be “bad” at art or music, but both can be learned by almost anyone up to a certain functional level in the same way you would learn a vocation. You won’t be Picasso or Hendrix, but you’ll have a level of competency to accomplish most tasks.
As an adult I learned to draw and to write legibly because—-to me—-those are valuable “intrinsic tools”.
I made sure my daughter received a foundational music education from a young age, and she can play several instruments with a high level of proficiency based on hours invested, not natural talent.
We often don’t value the arts the same way we do other practical skills, and to me, that’s a shame.
