del_icious_manager asked: Is it me or is there an ever-increasing tide of people posting here wanting ‘the notes’ to this piece or that (usually the same pieces!!)? Whenever I can be bothered to reply, I encourage these people to learn to read music and discover the wonderful world that awaits them on the other side.
I don’t believe it’s very hard to learn to read music if one does it in a methodical way and puts some effort in (I’m no genius and I did it quickly enough). Why, then, are there apparently so many people who seems steadfastly to resist (or even refuse) to learn to read music? Is it part of the epidemic of laziness we see every day in “please do my research/homework for me” or “I can’t be bothered searching for this on the internet myself – please tell me …” questions every day in here? If so, I despair for the forthcmoming generation of couch potatoes.
What are your thoughts? How can we encourage people more to learn this not-so-difficult task? Should we have a section policy of refusing to type lines and lines of ‘notes’ in response?

Brandon asked: Hi! I’ve been playing the violin for about 2 and a half years and I’m pretty all right. The only thing I really lack confidence in is my sight reading. I have a really hard time sight reading music for some reason. I am able to play the piece when i practice but it’s hard for me to play it right there when someone gives a piece to me. Are there any tricks or websites that help to improve your sight reading for violin? Any scales or something on sheet music I can practice for sight reading. I take the suzuki method book and they have the fingering (example: 1, 2, 3) below the note which is what I usually use to read my music (unfortunately). Please help! Thanks!

wewantfringe asked: I already know how to read music, but my boyfriend wants to learn and I don’t have lots of time to teach him, and since I learned how to when I was 8 I don’t really remember how it was taught, I just know how to read it already.
he wants to learn like, dynamics, notes, the grand staff, anything a 6th grader could read, pretty much. Nothing too deep into theory, maybe some triads and seventh chords if anything.
ANYWAYS! I want to get him a decent book for Festivus that can help him learn to read music, or at least the basics so I can fill him in and help him with the rest.
Does anyone know of any good books that aren’t directed towards children and are easy to learn from?
Thanks!
