I play the piano by ear– I hear tunes and chords in my head and can sometimes work them out on the keyboard. But I’d much rather have the ability to sight read music. I can make sense of the right hand, but the left hand takes me a while to decipher. And note value and time signature still mystify me.

I know it’s always been a matter of practice, but I’ve never taken the time nor made the effort. Guess there’s no time like the present.
