In the songbook, Gord talked about he was good at sight reading. But what is sight reading?
Sight reading means being able to play or sing a song by using only sheet music, whether that song is familiar to you or not. You not only have to know which note and pitch to play or sing, but you also have to be able to decipher the rhythm. It usually takes years to develope, not something you can learn to do over night. If you're interested in sight reading, go to google and look up music theory.
