Learning a musical instrument is quite interesting. One can improve skills within a short amount of time while others can struggle even mastering the basic skills. You may wonder, what creates such difference? What is the importance of talent in learning music? According to recent studies, kids who have parents or grandparents with musical background tend to be more fast-learners when it comes to musical subjects. However, talent doesn’t determine your fullest potential solely. In fact, what determines your success in music mostly is your work ethic and discipline. Talent is only a starting point. It is probably genetic but is highly affected by environmental factors. It can show up in totally random moments, especially in early childhood. How to know if you have a special talent for music? It has its own methods to be proven, of course. Talent tests can be taken at any age. However, taking these tests at an early age makes more sense. We know every kid is special and talented in their unique ways but musical talent is a bit more complex than it seems to be and it is wiser to ask help from professionals specialized in such topic. Musical talent by itself is not enough to achieve stuff. Even the most talented musician needs to put skills into work and give an effort to make progress. Such blessing should also be backed up by the right instructors and the right choice of musical instrument. Question 1. Which of the following best serves the title of the passage? A. Talent versus Hard Work B. Special Talent for Music C. Kids and Musical Talent D. Talent Tests Would Help

Kids who are helped by the right instructors and the right choice of musical instrument Question 4. The phrase ‘make progress’ in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ______. A. begin B. develop C. practise D. carry out Question 5. We can learn from the passage that ______. A. work ethic and discipline cannot determine success B. talent is more important than environmental factors C. talent cannot be tested D. we can succeed in music by hard work Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions. Teenagers love music. They, specifically, attach meaning to and take aspects of their identity from music. This is not surprising that music holds so much meaning for today’s teens. Music creates a much needed sense of belonging in the lives of teenagers. Teenagers are known for feeling isolated from society and friends. Music, as an art form, can help them express the feelings of frustration that come with feeling isolated. Listening to music can also give teens the chance to feel connected to musicians and other fans of specific musicians. Music is a well-known tool for stress relief. Many people actively turn to music as a coping strategy when processing stress or sadness, because it helps shut out the noise of the world and the noise inside our heads. Furthermore, music is increasingly being used as a form of therapy, and music therapy has existed for centuries. Teenagers, especially those going through puberty, conflicts with friends, or the college process, are under a high amount of stress. Listening to music has been seen to help teens process or release difficult emotions in a healthy way. Experiences tend to be very different depending on race or ethnicity. Music provides the opportunity for teens of all races and ethnicities to share a common bond and learn about each other’s cultures and backgrounds. For instance, much of the Rap and R&B genres originated in Black culture, and many of the prominent performers and names in those genres are Black. Music is also usually very personal to the experience of the artist, so through those
10. things, music can be used as an educational tool for teenagers to learn about backgrounds differing from theirs. Music can also provide teenagers with a skill or hobby that is special to them, which can help further build identity and give teens something to be proud of during a period of life that is often characterized by low self-confidence. Music is an incredibly powerful tool that can be accessed and appreciated by people of all ages and backgrounds. Adapted from Question 34.
