So which is it? Is your family musical or just you?
I am in a weird spot. My parents divorced when I was two. They each remarried and I now have 5 brothers and sisters. So, my biological mother had 3 kids. We all play instruments, as does my mother and her whole family. My biological fathers family does not, my stepfather's does.
My biological father remarried and had 2 more kids. They play nothing, nor do either of their parents or families. Is this just coincidence, or is playing music genetic?
And while I'm at it, the gender scale for musicians seemed to be tipped towards male. Why is this, as musical enjoyment seems to be had by all?
