Hugs are kewl! <3
I'm in a weird position for learning. I took lessons when I was young for a whole three months or so. I didn't stop playing, though, and ended up self-teaching myself a number of pieces. Fur Elise was one of the first, actually. It took me a long time to learn how to play it just due to my poor sight-reading ability, but the actual finger work didn't bother me much. Now, over a decade later, I can still play it (as well as most of the others I taught myself), but I learn new pieces at the same glacial pace.

What I've been looking for is a collection of sheet music that will let me work on my sight-reading. Something that starts pretty easy and ramps up to fairly complex work. It's just really frustrating knowing that my fingers are capable of a lot more than I can read, and I'd like to get the two skills to an equilibrium. I don't need to learn fingerings or arpeggios or time signatures or how to invert chords (there's plenty of technique I do need to learn, but I don't want to focus on it). I just need to improve my reading. Any suggestions?
