I started playing the piano around 4 but gave up around 12. I can play by ear pretty easily, meaning listening to a song and just play the main rhythm. It always feels natural to me, so I guess I didn't feel anything special about it. It wasn't until much later did I realize not everybody can do it. An interesting side effect of this, is that whenever I hear a piece of music, I can correlate the notes to the keys on the piano, such that next time I sing that song, it can start at the exact same pitch.
