This does not seem over impressive until you meet someone that can't read music. Then it seems to be an amazing thing.
Maybe slightly more impressive is that I learnt to read music before I learnt to read English.
I was always impressed at how my piano teacher could just pick up any piece and play it. Reading music is simple enough on the violin because you usually just have a single note to play at a time, but for the piano... so many fingers at once. I just learn what each hand does and play from memory - never learnt how to spontaneously read piano sheet.
What do you play ?
