Well, you know I'm trying to get more color in my diet, but I also like to use color with the little ones in music class. We are learning the note names, steps and skips by using colored bells. Red, yellow, orange, green, light blue, dark blue and purple are C, D, E, F, G, A, B.
Do you remember how you learned note reading? Or do you know how to read music?

No I was never very musical with instruments although I enjoy music quite a bit.

My daughter majored in music and promised to teach me how to read music. That never happened. I would still like to learn though.

A bit not much. I learned organ before but it was only 5 years.

@petatonicsca I'm not fast
enough to sight read a new piece of music
while playing yet. I can read well enough
to learn a new piece from scratch if I
get time to practice but I tend to break
it down into smaller parts so it's easier.
I'm quite envious of the true musicians
who can walk in and play a piece
instantly when they are handed a sheet
of music.
