I do but I never get to practice it. During my elementary days, I'm an active member of a rondalla band where I play bandurya. I'm also an active choir member then. We practice not by listening to a music but by studying it note by note. How about you?

I knew how to when I was nine, but not anymore. I focus more on my guitar so I read tabs almost everyday. The notes are compltely at the back of my mind, lol. I am practicing my keyboard, though. Right now I have to put the actually letter of the chords underneath them until I learn how to read sheet music all over again.

I learned to read music as a child too, gaddulah. I rarely ever play a note anymore, can't seem to find the time. I would love to start playing the piano again (my favorite instrument). I learned to play a few instruments but piano was my very favorite. Thanks for awakening such wonder memories, gabdulah, I do so love to play music.

yes i can read musical score but i never completely master it. i used to learn and practice classical pieces with my guitar. i really liked it. but now i don't get time to do that and i think i have forgotten how to play the pieces. maybe sometimes i will practice that again.

When I was young we had an old piano. I used to play by ear, then took piano lessons. So I can read music, but can play without reading it too. I think it is great to know how to read it as with music all information is useful.
