Well, I love playing keyboard
But I really want to learn to read music. Everything I do is played by ear. Some people are impressed, but I really want to be able to read it.

On Saturday, I'm off to see Omes and Kill the Arcade. I fucking love Omes

I've seen you playing keyboard on the inter-tubes.
You're very entertaining.

Literally, playing by ear
I can't read music to save my life

It's really easy to learn how to read music if you start with the really basic books.
Once you know where one note is on your piano, you can find the rest and work slowly - the grading exam pieces are brilliant for learning with.

I will try this :)
I seem to have an ear for music though. Once I'm in a chord, I seem to know what notes fit around it, and can improv a neat little solo.

Still, I need to learn music. I hate when I improvise a ditty in front of mates, then they come to me for help with musical theatre auditions. :/
