I believe that anyone can sing... but whether you are taught to sing well or badly, that is another matter!
By learning to sing, you are able to get to know your body better and this can result in better posture, breathing and a more controlled mental state.
And, most importantly, singing should be "natural". A singing teacher should just help you to bring out something you already have, and not use artificial techniques to create an artificial sound.
