Scott "the piano guy" Huston says that if you want to play classical music then you should learn to read music (treble & bass clef). If you want to play pop music, you only have to learn the treble clef and chord symbols, and don't even bother with bass clef. He says, most people don't have trouble playing the piano, they have trouble transcribing the written notes. I can identify with that. I'm not saying to stop taking music lessons, theory is important, and what other lessons are there? There is no such thing as organ or keyboard lessons. Sigh.
