I could read it once, but not anymore. Maybe struggle through a little...maybe.

I can read it somewhat, but have to stop to go through memory tricks for some notes.

I can read multiple clefts, but I felt like an idiot answering that option. :P

Option #2. I used to play the piano as a kid. Dropped it bloody years ago. Now, I doubt I could do the scales properly. ;)

I used to be able to, but haven't been near a musical instrument for years now and couldn't probably play more than one or two notes I might half remember.

I've played clarinet, recorder, piano, and percussion.
I sang in church, and in high school choir.
Yeah, I can read music.

Back in the day, when I still played trumpet. I could probably pick it up again.

What always got me back then was tempo's or what not, you know, 4/4, 4/2, 3/5. I didn't know what these meant (really), I just followed the band's lead and the conductor (I had the multitasking skill to follow the music and the conductor, unlike the entirety of the 2nd and 3rd trumpets :roll: )

I mean 4/4 is easy, it's what I now know as marching cadence basically, it's as simple as it gets. The notes though and spaces I had fairly well down.
