Reply To: should I learn to read musics

[jason kleinberg]

Wen, only you can decide if you will benefit by learning to read music. What are your goals with the fiddle? Many people play by ear and never learn to read music. It is not terribly hard to learn but it takes persistence. It is a great skill to have. If you find a section of the tune is hard to hear, you can look at the sheet music for help. I hope to do some lessons on reading music but I don’t know when I will get to it. You might feel more confident about your music it you know the basics of reading music but, again, it is not required. All the lessons have tabs on Fiddlehead.com.
