My god. As a musician who really wishes someone had been interested enough in my talent as a kid to try to teach me how to actually do it, I envy those people so much.
I had people like Paul McCartney reassuring me, he and other musicians who couldn’t read music.
Now that I’m older, though, I really wish that I could just tune into it all. I’ve tried, but I just don’t fucking know where to start.
I come from a family full of musicians. My grandfather had one grandchild out of 17 grandkids who wasn’t a musician. He never played, but he was always singing and whistling.
A lot of it has to do with the kind of music or instrument you play. If you’re playing guitar in a rock band, a lot of guitarists can’t read music. Hell a lot of guitar sheet music specifically has the tabs attached. If you’re playing trumpet for a jazz band or orchestra though, you’re pretty much required to read music.
Oh yeah I play everything. I was a kid with severe adhd, got kicked out of band rather than taught.
I mean, not the end of the world. Some girls liked my music and I was stuck in home economics where Sarah and Sue sat on either side of me and fondled me. God their names sound made up and typical. Looking back, what I was making was so cheesy, I don’t understand how anyone liked it.
As a 13 year old boy, I went from hell to heaven when I got kicked out of band.
I wasn’t heartbroken about it then haha. Sarah broke my heart when an older friend took me to see her and I ended up waiting around at the park while they hung out in a car without me. I probably dodged a bullet, but I cried myself to sleep that night.
I see her around town from time to time. I don’t think she even knows that she broke my heart. :p Doesn’t even have a clue. She thought I was as wild as she was. I guess that’s why it pays to be yourself. Tell that to a teenager though.

None of us read music.
