I'm really appreciative of the 7 years I spent in the school band. On the outside it looks kind of dumb, but I swear you learn so much if you have a good conductor.
Aww haha!

I did too but for 5 years.

I applied to a college for Preparatory Music/Applied Music. They have prerequisites, part of it states that one must be able to read music. So, I searched out the web and learned about Bass Clefs and Treble Clefs, Time Signatures, Types of notes like Whole Note, Half Note, Quarter Notes ect. Rests and Symbols and all. There's more stuff I believe and gets a bit complicated to understand after. An instructor would obviously help and answer my questions. I hope this tread will generate quite a valuable knowledge for any artist/musician. Imagination has a lot to offer.

Can anyone read music? If you can could you please discuss.

I had another query about Royal Contemporary Music. My prerequisite also requires to have a certain Grade/Levels of RCM.

Did anyone write this exam?

Thanks for discussing and sharing,

Axer

what I'd suggest, is taking a beginner's music theory class at your local community college.

I believe they call it avant-guarde.

go to your local music store and purchase an instrument called a recorder and a beginner's book for playing the recorder. This will teach you how to read music as well as play an instrument.

Come to think of it we were required to play it in music class in elementary school. After that I began to play the sax from then until I was done with college.

Grade school
-4th,5th grade band
-6th, regular band and jazz band
7th,8th: regular band and jazz band
9th,10,11,12(jazz band and symphonic band) with all-county 11 &12
played in NYSBDA in 12(bootleg version of all-state) created that year

college
Buffalo: freshman in regular band
Binghamton: rest of years regular band and jazz band

Def start withe recorder will get you on your way but the best and only advice you need is.....PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE

Word. Piano class, school band, performing arts orchestra, jazz band, band camp, drumline. I did it all....but I'm a drummer so the actual notes take time for me to get used to playing. I can nail rhythms easy though

And dancing, of course, but you dance listening to it, not reading it.
