The group of similar words here all are synonyms for the general category of “abilities” that a person might have. An aptitude is a natural ability – think of the expression, “It is apt to do that.” This means “it will likely do that naturally.” A “knack” is an acquired skill. “To get the knack” of something is to come to be able to do it. The word “musician” is far too specific in comparison with these other words. Certainly, to be a musician is to have a certain skill and perhaps even to express an aptitude. Still, it is not at all synonymous with the general categories as is the case with the other options.
