History of Musical Aptitude Researches and Findings
There is a long debate on whether one is born with a fine ear for music or whether one develops it over time by practice and training.

The researches about musical aptitude have been focused on the two opposite edges of the musical abilities which are 'Absolute pitch(AP)' and Tone deafness (Amusia).
