Everyone's brain begins is different in its balance between visual and

audio processing (although I supposed someone blind from birth would

grow up as a very strong audio processor simply because the visual

processing side wouldn't develop as much.
I'm a very visual processor who plays very well by ear (started playing

by ear at age 2). Go figure!
