→Controversies surrounding music today: what per cent of an individual's ability to recognise musical pitch is inherited?
Throughout world history, "new" music (which 200 years later may be considered classical or traditions) has often elicited the claim "dangerous" "sexually perverse" and "against human nature". Both Mozart and Beethoven were regarded as dangerous, and the entire "major chord" system was offensive to early Christian ears. Music from other cultures, seen by some as merely different or ethnic, is often labeled dangerous or simply "noise" by outside cultures.

==Musical Talent==
People have long debated whether musical ability is inherited. A team of Anglo-American researchers estimated "that between 70 to 80 per cent of an individual's ability to recognise musical pitch is inherited" the heritability of musical talent at 70%, meaning that after allowing for a 30% influence from known factors they assumed that the rest comes from genes.
