Poll, dummies.
 

Who here can read actual music vs. tabs?

I used to be able to read piano music, thats about the extent of it.

Anyone who plays an instrument should be able to read music.

Not nescessarily.

Bullshit.

I've been playing guitar for 6 years and can say without hesitation that I am good at what I do. I can't read music. I just taught myself how to play.

Ditto.

I am literate.

i can read note music, prefer tabs while playing though

sheet music for piano and corale,
ofcourse corale music is much easier to read by far then piano

Tabs, I'm a noob.

Being able to play 7 different musical instruments I sure can read sheet music and right music in the same format.

^ Which instruments do you play?
And are you good at it, or is all you can play father jacob?

1.Flute
2.Bb Clarinet
3.Alto Clarinet
3.Alto Sax*
4.Guitar (mostly acoustic)
5.Violin**
6.Piccolo
7.Harmonica*

*not great at but can play decently...more then a few notes and songs..the rest I can play very well and practice daily..the flute being my fav.
**just started taking lessons about 2 months ago..but I totally dig it.

did you seriously just say that you play the piccolo? *cough*nerd*cough*

No shame in my game..

Cool, I wish I had begun learning how to play when I was younger.

Well the biggest reason I learned so many was I had to rent the instruments from the bad dept in school and I was only allowed one instrument per month..and I would get the "leftover" instruments..like piccolo,Alto Clarinet,Tenor Sax..

I read music for piano and drums. Tabs fpor guitar

Tabs, but if i dont learn sheet music over christmas i'm boned for my course in college so it'll soon have to be both.

strictly sheet music

sheet music for flute, guitar, paino, and clarinet.

I've never found myself in a position to use tabs but I'll be honest and say I hate having to read music for a performance.
