Talent/Skill manga?

Soo, I'm looking for a talent/skill manga.
Main thing; I want it to focus on the skill/talent, NOT romance. If there is any romance, please make it background romance instead of the main focus.
Also please make the main character a girl. I don't really care if she is a tomboy, or gender bending, but yeah.
One more note. Please, make the skills somewhat realistic if they're sports. Meaning, nothing like The Prince Of Tennis. Even to this day I have never finished it. I always drop it when they start going into latent ability mode and release their Ki or whatever and start glowing.
What not to suggest; Hana-kimi/Honey Hunt
What to suggest; Skip Beat/Glass Mask/Crimson Hero(from what I've read, anyway)
So, I'm reviving this, and I changed it around a little. 😀

If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.

La Corda d'Oro has a music school in it also. Not sure if that's what you're thinking of. The heroine starts learning violin in the story - she's not already proficient at it or anything. The guys around her are all really talented at some instrument though.

LOL! I thought it would have been better without the romance... =_=
Maybe Cat Street. It's probably more on 'how to over-come fear' or 'live your dream' rather than focusing so much on the acting like Skip Beat! or Glass Mask. Still, it's very good... ^^

Trill on Eden another one about music. The main character is a girl who just moved into the school's dorm and by accident meets this problematic student and genius composer. There's some kind of students- pairing system in the school and she ends up being this guy's roomate and helping him out with his music, while she also finds out to be talented. And the romance is not the main focus.
