Can you read Music

[katie01]

Yes, I still play piano. I wouldn't have a clue how to play the clarinet anymore though, haven't picked it up since high school band over two decades ago

 

[TheIncredibles!]

I hope I can read music. I've been teaching instrumental music in a middle school for almost 30 years. I hope I haven't been making things up as I go.

So many of you have the lines of the treble clef, what about the spaces? What word does the spaces of the treble clef spell?

Yes, I play the piano.

 

[lynxstch]

Yes--my Grandmother was a classical pianist. She taught me how to read music and how to play the piano.

 

[Cubbiecakes]

Yup. Professional musician and composer here. Thoroughly versed in the major clefs (treble, bass, tenor, and alto) and extremely proficient in sight-reading, sight-singing, and sight-transposing.

 

[jaybirdsmommy]

Yes, minored in music in college.

To some degree. I can't read it nearly as well as I should. I started college as a music major - voice performance, after doing really well with my classical singing endeavors in high school. I had years of clarinet and piano, but none of that ever really stuck (why I never got far with either one)...yet I could sing really challenging pieces because my tonal memory and intuitive skills are really strong. Music theory class was a nightmare for me and sight singing class, while helpful, was a real challenge. While I switched majors and never pursued a career in music, I sang with our city's symphony in the chorus for 5 years. So, I can read well enough to sing at that level, but please don't ever ask me to sight sing
