Nick ABC to standard notation (87* d) RE: ABC to standard notation 06 Jun 18


Here's a thing about reading music. And a bit pathetic.

I can read the notes but I can't read time

I have good ears and can pick up a tune - if I need to check notes I haven't got I can read them.

My elder son learnt piano (grade 5 or 6 can't remember). Put a piece of sheet music in front of him and he can sight read it.

I wonder whether it will make me a better musician.

I'm mid 60s now and I'm not sure I can. I feel I should have done this 50 years ago so it would be easy now and trying to work out the incremental positives it would give me.

FEEDBACK WELCOME

I have some friends who are HUGELY better than me who prefer ears and SHOW ME but can read notes if they have to.

Interesting world

Not a lot about ABC which is what it is...
