Don't give up though, music is great and sightreading can improve a bit. Do you think the lack of sight-reading ability has anything to do with dyspraxia? I have also been diagnosed with dyslexia and always put it down to that, but it strikes me as odd, as I have no trouble reading words!
That is interesting - I'm not bad at sight reading, but have great difficulty learning a tune by heart from a sheet of music - I can however play a bit by ear (which is different to learning something by heart).
