Why tablature – isn it better to learn to read music?
It is very useful to read music, and I encourage the endeavor. Fact is, music existed long before we had a note and staff system to write it down, and people learned by ear, which is also a useful skill to develop. Folks (especially kids) may not have the time or inclination to learn to read music. Tablature provides another way to transmit a tune over time and distance, along with the music staff and midi files. Here you can learn a tune by ear, by music staff notation, by tablature, or any combination of the three. My hope is that the learner can also use the sheet music to begin associating the music staff to notes played on the whistle.
