I just read an interesting article and decided I would pose a question here about it.

Are "Great Trumpet Players" born or are they made? My teachers (I'm not trying to speak for him) philosophy is that they are made. A great trumpet player is the result of hundreds even thousounds of hours of practise, scales etc. Playing with a focus and determination. Doing what you love because you will WANT to do it more and spend the time necessary to become great.

Thoughts? Are the great ones made or born?
