Hi all

Thank's all for such detailed explanations. Would you believe I've had NO music training at all, so it's a great help? I had music for a year, but the teacher thought I was no good, so she always told others to play, and I'd get to write out the notes on a big piece of paper for them all to see, or something like that. Then again, I didn't push. I hated her. So, I've been internetting, trying to learn what I should have when I was twelve! I have however, found I can tell when a melody is about to dip,or rise, or what the words are half the time, as long as it is in English, not in Dutch (weird, eh?) But that could have to do with the way some things are sung. We can all predict that if a song starts out about a loved one, the loved one will be lost! (well, nine times out of ten). Come to think of it, my music teacher must have been right, every time I've sung anything people tell me I can't carry a tune - But I still love all this.

Thanks

Selene
