I can read and write music quite well, on all 4 clefs, it was my highest graded subject in my SACE, and I have a good grounding of the theory. I dabble with a piano and I can play some clarinet. I would like more lessons but they just aren't in the budget and it is too loud to practice when I have the time. I also sing. DH on the other hand does not have a musical bone in his body.

If I had the time and the charts for chords and notes I could figure out pretty much any instrument to the point of being able to play a few songs. The hardest part of changing instruments is transposition though, which is one thing that annoys me with my clarinet, but if I want it to sound any good I have to do it
