A very useful skill for any musician is perfect pitch, the ability to identify notes without reference. Adults aren't able to learn the skill but if you start as a child you are able to learn it in the same way kids can learn a new language without an accent and can identify small differences in sounds that adults can't learn. I suggest you look into teaching that ability. Also, loving music is the best motivator towards being a great musician. You can help by exposing someone to different types of good music and helping to identify a favorite.
