Stower | Is music-reading an important skill? (103* d) | RE: Is music-reading an important skill? | 07 Oct 11 |
As Mary said, if you only play by ear then you cannot play anything from a manuscript that you've never heard played and, perhaps, never has been played in public for a few hundred years. I play largely by ear and harmonise by 'feel', but my musical life would be much the poorer if I didn't read music. I really enjoy all the research, which would be impossible if I couldn't read music. |
