    No... I use a program to input the MTHd and MTrk and binary to a computer, and have the computer play it for me.

    call me lazy... but elsewise I'd play by ear. I never could read music fast enough.
    The project that was awesome, has fallen apart... oh well.

    Ear and tab .... tried to learn sheet music but i really wasn't into it ...

    I'd rather make my own music than learn someone elses >.<
    Chuck Noblet: Can anyone tell me the tragic irony of the Trojan War? Tina? Tina: Um, that horses are friendly creatures yet a hollow, wooden one was used to destroy Troy? Chuck Noblet: Wrong and no. Anyone else? Chip? Chip: That the mighty warrior Achilles was killed by a small cut to his ankle. Chuck Noblet: Chip is wronger. OK, here it is. The tragic irony of the Trojan War is that though it was fought over Helen, who was young and beautiful, by the time they rescued her ten years later, she was old and ugly. Tina: But wasn't recovering the king's wife reward enough for the Greeks? Chuck Noblet: Tina, an ugly woman is never a reward.

    For Saxophone and Flute: Sightread and ear. If I can't get all the rythyms by sightreading then normally I put it through a midi maker (the music) and listen to it.

    For Vocal: Sightread it by humming but normally I have to hear it once or twice on the piano, but then I have no problems what so ever.

    I was in Band from 6th-12th grade and choir from 7th-12th grade, Choirs my high point 'cause I was varsity every year in highschool. I was only first chair in the second band through out highschool.

    I play by ear mostly, but I'm not bad at sightreading either.

    I found myself more and more able to do it by ear as I get older.
    I'm also able to tune a guitar with little help anymore, thanks to the horrendous year I spent with the psycho/awesome roommate I had.

    Mostly tabs for me, but sometimes I can pick out songs and play them.
    now safe beneath their wisdom, and their feet;
    here i will teach you truly how, to sleep.
