Musically ungifted student – myth or fact?

Abstract

In the following work, the author attempts to define a musically ungifted student by using available literature. It raises the important problem of diminishing the importance of working with a less gifted student compared to the multitude of aspects of working with a gifted student. It presents the most popular musical skill tests (Measures of Music Abilities by Arnold Bentley, Primary Measures of Music Audiation and Intermediate Measures of Music Audiation by Edwin Gordon, Testy Wykształcenia Ogólnomuzycznego by Halina Kotarska) and describes them. The article's summary is the answer to the question whether there is anybody such as a music-incapable student?
