Perhaps not appropriate for this group, but here's a question-- I have
played (serious classical) clarinet as a hobby for 41 years (with NO down
time!) and can play it now as easily as I can speak. Three months ago I
took up the piano, something I always wanted to do. I find that I MUST
memorize the little piano pieces I am asked to play, because I CAN'T
properly read the piano music and play at the same time! I believe it has
something to do with the two lines of music at the same time or my
eye-PIANO coordination. Is it normal for piano players to memorize their
music? Or is it because I am such a rank beginner at the piano?

Fred
