Not everyone is *disposed* to sing and/or play well, which also figures that 
no matter how much they try, their results will be limited due to their 
hearts not being fully into it, if they're not so disposed.

I have a different view of that. With extremely few, if any, exceptions, 
nobody is born with talent - it's far more likely to be born 'rich' i.e. 
'loaded' with Filthy Lucre, and speaking of which, I recall a preacher on 
the radio mentioning that an actual Biblical unit of Filthy Lucre, namely a 
"talent", was about as much as most people would earn in an entire year. 
Clearly, this related a monetary talent, or a skillful talent, to a lot of 
hard work, which I've personally discovered, as have you, to be the case 
where Music is concerned - or anything else requiring skill for that matter.

Rather, what one may be born with is the *aptitude* for those various 
activities, that a person may find they're *apt* to pursue.

But talent is something that Must be Earned by Diligent, Honest, and 
Dedicated effort over the long term, sustained by genuine Love for what 
they're doing, literally a Labor of Love...which is why Music makers so 
regularly practice, at least the ones worth listening to...to Increase and 
Improve their talent, and thus further enhance what they Truly Love.
