Keith Urban Failed Music In High School
Keith Urban stopped by “The Kelly Clarkson Show” on Thursday, Ocotber 3.
He performed “Messed Up as Me” and then shocked her with this tidbit from his childhood.
She was doing a segment on a nonprofit called the Harmony Program that gives music lessons to kids, and Keith revealed that he FAILED his music class in 10th grade.
It was music theory, and he never learned to read music.
So despite his obvious talents, his teacher had to fail him.
Kelly joked it’s like if Neil deGrasse Tyson failed science.
By the way, plenty of other major artists never learned to read music, including Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Eric Clapton, and Taylor Swift. None of the four Beatles learned to read music either.
