Most people wish they could play an instrument
According to a 2009 Gallup poll conducted by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM),
85 percent of Americans who do not play musical instruments wish that they did.
One of the key skills for playing an instrument or singing is the ability to read music. Understanding how to read music will make it much easier to learn a new instrument, play music with other musicians, sing harmony and share your musical ideas with others.
