And the Finale!

I have absolutely no idea how to read music. I look at the sheet and know that the notes and lines mean something but am bemused.

I can draw the little squiggly thing at the start but am not sure totally what it means!

People who read music leave me in awe. My partner sat down on a piano one day and unbeknown to me started reading sheet music and playing. I was jealous but amazed.

I did learn a little at school and do wish that I had continued so that I could play an instrument and Making Music was a normal thing for me.
