Great Music Site!

Frank, has there been any recent memory threads on playing by ear versus sightreading? I soley rely on the former, but the learning is slow, and my ear 'misses' some notes.

I of course blame the other muso's for not playing the notes I miss, but I'm glad the aural tradition hasn't got me in charge! I gotta get over this snobbery and learn.

Has anyone thought up a different musical notation where time literally is represented by length (ie Barrel Organ card) as I find these variously deformed tadpoles unintelligible. If a note lasts four beats, surely it could be a solid rectangular line instead of a white rugby ball?

Any ideas?

Handy site - if I could only read music. There must be an equivalent word to "illiterate" to describe people like me.

Yo Sorcha--looks like you need to put the / sign before the a. But you remembered to close the quotation marks. You can view/source this page to have a look see.

Good site
