I've just typed a reaaly good one on this but my browser timed out BUT.

Essentially I said - its not the notes dots or otherwise its the interpretation of it!

Those who can learn quickly and easily by ear is is a gift - I am green with envy - those who just do whats on the page - shame on you those of us that do a bit of both muddle along.

Rmemebr why we play to give ourselves pleasure and when playing out to give others the pleasure.

I dodn'y play for 20 yrs and do a bit of both. Ear work gets easier the more you play.

Hugs to all and keep playing!
