I know what you mean! My brother is very talented at drawing and he's been doing it his whole life. It's fascinating to see him start drawing something where I don't see what it's supposed to be until he's finished maybe 30% of it. Just seemingly random lines at first. It's fascinating to me as I can hardly picture even simple shapes in my mind. But I can picture music, because I've been doing that for most of my life, so I can somehow relate to what it's like.

The sad thing about this, and things like music, is that despite all the positive encouragement that "it's never too late to learn to play", it actually is (hard to impossible) if your goal is to achieve mastery resembling that of those who forged their paths at a young age.

And from this perspective it becomes so important to encourage and support children in creative endeavours and not just have them sit on a school bench memorizing things.
