..i started learnin' to play by ear somewhere around 3 yrs old and didn't begin formal lessons until after i started grade school. once i heard my instructor give that mnemonic, it all fell together like a mystical jigsaw puzzle.
suddenly, my eyes & ears were in synch. once i learned complex notation (sharp/flat/major/minor), i began devouring every piece of sheet music i could get my hands on.
