The earlier discussion about teaching tab or notation reminded me that when I took bass lessons years ago I couldn't find a teacher who could read standard.
I now make sure all my students learn to read even though my reading is weak. I don't start with it: we start with playing. But after a while we start. Some students love it. Others struggle. But all benefit. And all think it marvellous when I put a piece of music they've not heard down and they are able to play it.
