Hm, that's interesting. I've been a musician since I was in middle school (not super-skilled, mostly recreational) and I took German as an undergraduate. All my teachers always complimented my pronunciation, and even comparing myself to other students in the class I was definitely better at it. I was pretty terrible at the language altogether though; I'd be hard pressed to do anything more complicated than ordering a beer and I wasn't much better when I was actively learning it.
