I started taking music lessons about six months ago. I had never learned any music before that. I did not read music. But after practicing at least once, often twice a day (except the two days I was flying to and from visiting my parents), I had been making slow and steady progress through the book of exercises
Recently I thumbed back to a couple carols in my exercises book. Then I remembered some music Ken and I had picked up years ago when we went caroling. We had gotten the booklets for the words as we knew the tunes
Well, I could almost sight read!! And I went back to my exercise book for a few sharps and flats I did not know. Wow. I guess I have learned quite a bit in six months.
