When I was in junior high, the teacher of the select choir of senior high heard my voice and invited me to the senior select choir. This was unheard of…Anyways.
Bless her heart she was a beautiful woman and so impressed with my voice that she thought I was the next Linda Ronstadt…lol
ME !!
Anyways…She tried to teach me to play the piano, but for some reason I just couldn’t understand how to read music, I just never could…
She finally gave up on trying to teach me to play (we took second in nationals that year by the way, the judges told my teacher that it was that fantastic soprano voice [me] that put us in second out of 48)…
Wow, thios is getting long…To the point…
I lost my job of 15 years two months ago…I won’t start my new job until October (don’t worry, I’m financially set for now)…And the last few weeks I have all these beautiful songs going through my head…But I don’t know how to set them to paper…I truely believe that there are some really powerful and beautiful songs in my head and I would love to share them with the world but I can’t write or even understand how to read music !! Someone direct me to a site that can train my brain to put my ideas on paper ?
Thankyou Sarah, but she’s since gone, a stroke I think….She was an angel…I was the oddball kid, two years younger than everyone else in class but she needed my voice…soprano, soprano 1, soprano 2, and even tenar when needed…
I sing kareoke sometimes and I always get a standing O bt I’m ugly, so I can never be a star…But since I’ve had this time off from working…My brain is storming with songs for some reason, never happened before…I’m checking out the sites you’ve suggested now…I’m not out for money or fame…But I loooove music, good music, so much….I want to make my mark.. :-)

Barefoot&Pregnant asked:

I play guitar a little, I can read tab. I want to learn how to read music and about music theory. Im totally lost and dont understand a thing. Is there any resource you would recommend to me? a website or book? I would like to know the basics first of course, then start learning more and more advanced stuff. Thanks to you all!

Oh and one more question. Is it necessary to know the theory to read music? Or is that the same thing?
