Exactly. According to my daughter, there are two instruments you never give to someone who cannot match pitch: french horn and oboe. She said she was singing into this kid’s ear and asking him to match pitch and he couldn’t do it, poor soul. I asked her if that was something you could teach, and she said some people can learn. She’s afraid this kid can’t.

Slightly off topic: I’ve noticed with friends and in language classes that the people with the most pronounced accents often have a problem carrying a tune.
