We interviewed much more than three people, but the three interviews that stood out the most are characterized below.

Wiki Markup The interviewee had started playing the piano only for a month, and "still \[had\] difficulties reading musical scores". In terms of distinguishing notes, he can only tell which is higher or lower. He said that he would probably be interested (but not excited) in learning how to differentiate notes.
He noted some interesting things:

- two hands didn't go independently while trying to play piano.
