Subject: RE: Playing by ear vs. sight-reading
I am a keyboard player.

Classically trained with theory included.

It took me close to five years to develop the ability to play by ear. It began with a few nights of adult education classes to "un-lock the mystery" and then the rest was pracice and history.

The most important thing with any instrument is that we continue to grow.... we NEVER arrive but the journey is pleasant... even the youngest beginner should recieve fulfilment and satisfaction.

You and your friends are there - continue on.

Have Fun! Work Hard! Make Music!

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
