AN EAR FOR MUSIC

First off I’ll just start by giving you a rough idea of what it really means to have an “ear for music”. Most musicians, music educators, or anyone involved with the music industry will all have different definitions of what it means. I think it boils down to 2 things: 1. being able to hear accurately and understanding what you’re listening to. 2. Being able to hear details and sounds most people might not even notice and understand why artists, producers, and engineers make the choice they do in regards to writing, producing, or playing music. Some music is just universally bad and I think everyone knows when they hear some terrible music. With that being said, I honestly don’t believe that having an “ear for music” is this rare mystical thing that only a handful of people possess. Everyone has their own unique taste and style of music they enjoy listening to. And guess what? That’s perfectly fine. It’s what you choose to do with that ear that will separate you from the rest of the pack.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I also agree it is having a passion for music, being able to hear and feel the soul of music, and being able to tell the story the artist was trying to tell and conceptually see it and it's vision and your mind. Great article. -

Couldn't agree more! As a musician I think I have a pretty trained ear for music. I always try to write the best music I can and listen to music I think is actually worth it. But like you said, everyone has their own tastes. Thanks for sharing! -
What about tone deaf people that can't hear how bad they sound? Idk that I trust their ear for music...

I love the point of your piece!
Thanks and yea it’s a mixture of a lot of different things. And tbh music is subjective, everyone’s not going to have the same taste and think everything is good.
