Just out of curiousity, I thought I'd start up this little poll.

Hmm..I had my vote in
"All of the above, plus I am capable of transposing notes to other keys or writing parts for different instruments in the appropriate key for the instrument"

but when I added more options to the poll, my vote didn't follow accordingly and there is no "manual override" for the votes.  Oh well :p

I can't do anything.  I can't even stay in tune with a radio.  Not to mention that I find all but LBT music to be annoying usually.

What would your vote be if you could re-do it?
Mine would be 3rd from the bottom.

Yet you could stay in tune very well with us during "Bestest Friends"! :D

But that's what you said before... well, I guess what I meant to ask is what did you vote instead of that?

Oh the poll above, it shows my vote in:
I know all of the keys but have limited knowledge of chords outside of major and minor

I was just stating that is incorrect.  You see 2 votes there, with one of them being mine.  My vote should Not be there.  It is supposed to be in

All of the above, plus I am capable of transposing notes to other keys or writing parts for different instruments in the appropriate key for the instrument"

That's because I have literally watched LBT 10 several thousand times. :lol:

I have all of the major keys memorized, a few of the minor keys, and some basic knowledge of chord structures


I never took music theory, just played the stuff and learned off of that.

I am forced to play piano by my parents.

I also play the violin on my own accord.

I chose the second option. I mean, I do consider myself a music lover. I just have a hard time trying to understand the notes.

:lol I have brought this thread back from the dead!

Not sure what to answer in this poll. I don't really have a good instrument.

I wasn't sure how to answer so I didn't.  I don't remember much but way way way back in fourth grade the substitute teacher did teach the class how to read and write music, though I don't remember any of that since I had no reason to remember and keep using it.   She was the teacher for 2-3 months while the regular teacher was on maternity leave.
