Aside from persistence and dedication as with anything else what energies can I use to increase my musical talent?
I know Venus can help, but would talent be a material or spiritual square?
Also, what rune could I use and what element is associated with music?(Water?)
I've decided I am going to self teach myself the Violin and am in the process of getting one.
Mainly this falls under Venus, which is earth and air with Libra, or more like earth and some water with Taurus. It is both the water and earth together which create the harmonizing beauty of music, although of course there are different kinds of music.
Although it is not clearly stated, I believe Gebo and Wunjo are useful for improving your ability to create music, in the sense that your music would have those qualities. Yet, Kenaz and Nauthiz would be useful for learning and training. Raidho could probably be substituted for Kenaz, as it is a solar rune, but also has a time component as mentioned above. Lastly, Laguz is related to Pisces (which Venus is exalted in) and could help you reach into the "unknown depths" of your mind to create unique and beautiful music.

Venus/Neptune
"This is the creative aspect par excellence, and is often found in the charts of composers, musicians, artists of all kinds and those who have exceptional creative talents. These people are extremely sensitive with very rich imaginations and are idealists by nature. They long for the perfect lover and are highly romantic. Anything extremely unpleasant or ugly can affect them deeply and leave a lasting negative impression. They are perfectionists in their love lives, seeing their lover as perfect, and this often causes them disappointment when the lover does not live up to their expectations. They are prone to fantasy, which usually revolves around romance. They are compassionate and can be self-sacrificing. In some cases, one with this placement can fall in love with someone who is not available or unobtainable, such as a film star, or famous musician. "

These people are prone to having secret love affairs. There is often shyness, loneliness, and problems in love. They have a compassionate and very sensitive nature. Partners on both sides can threaten suicide if relationship is broken off in some cases. When the love life is unsatisfactory, these people often withdraw into their own private worlds.
