Ju Ju - I've never been able to sing, the only way I could sight read was when playing the horn. I just couldn't do singing, I knew what to do on the horn.......

Why do they invent difficult words for a condition that often involves not being able to spell. Well back to my children's music theory book. I do a page of homework every night. All I need is a sticker for getting it right. (Well my singing teacher has them for her younget pupils.)

Hope the theory's going well, Ju Ju.
