Any suggestions for a good method or book for learning how to read music?
Thx!

I am illiterate too. Music theory might as well be algebra, as far as I'm concerned. That's why I started taking paino lessons. I've already played a song after my 1st lesson.
Its something that those who can,say is easy,
and others (like me!) struggle with.You either take to it
quickly and master it,or you don't.Just my opinion!
I taught a number of adults to read music out of this book.
Adults learn differently than children: you need examples and building on complexity so as not to tax concentration. This book starts with reading rhythms, then reading pitch (the note), then combines the rhythm and pitch into melodies. It uses a keyboard for playing, which is the easiest instrument to learn music on (no embouchure, etc, ) so a cheap Casio could help with this task. Borrow or buy one.
