you'awl may laugh and joke but i've got dyslexia big time and i simply can not - not WILL not - but CAN not .. read music - in both tabs and notation. i can forge through a melody, note by note but it's a long and painful process. i only really "know" a piece when i hear it. (godbless midi and mp3.)
i happened to hear an interview once with joanna lumley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joanna_Lumley) in which she said she'd tried many times to do it but simply couldn't - even with encouragement from her conductor husband, stephen barlow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Barlow). i play better now, aged 60, than i ever did when i was kid but i still can't read a note. - bill http://earlymusiccharango.blogspot.com/ ___________________________________________________________ The all-new Yahoo!
