learn to read music notes

I’ve started taking singing lessons two years ago and according to my teacher I wouldn’t have to learn to read music. But in the mean time I’ve learned bit by bit about music notes and trying to get better in singing I guess I’ll have to learn more. Last weekend I took part in a Christmas Choir (see pic) and having to learn the music and words in two days I felt real good already knowing some information about music notes. For now I know where a melody is going. Now I have to learn more about timing.
