Thanks for the leads. i will check them out.

The biggest stumbling block for my friend is she was trained classically and like a lot of folks with that training is somewhat dependent on the written music-- interesting for me because I'm a mostly-by-ear person, and just use the sheet music to make sure I'm not missing something :)

Actually I'm really a singer, so I learn tunes by filtering them through my ear-voice connection-- the learn-by-humming technique.

I love Mudcat! Thanks again,
