I faked trombone all the way through middle school. Adam, the kid next to me, knew how to play trombone and could read the music as well. What I did was create my own system of trombonal slide positions, numbered 1 through 6. Then I would watch where Adam moved his slide with each note played, and I would write the corresponding number from my system above each note on my paper.
This is especially funny because I think there’s only 7 positions on a typical trombone anyway, and unless you have godlike lips can only hit 3 or 4 octaves across those. i played trombone through high school and it’s like the easiest instrument, haha.
I did the same for the piano tbh. I was better at rhythm games than parsing sheet music so I’d practice and memorise pieces on something like Synthesia.

I leached you like a vampire, Adam.
That’s almost as much work as learning it!
you created your own system for actively refusing to learn to play normally. lol
i mean good job too I guess but I think just practicing would have been less effort.

That’s harder when playing plinky plonk though.
Yeah, that’s why I’m stuck playing with one hand, never properly learned notation
