Of course it is rubbish to tell someone to ignore their ear, but there isn't a single musician on the planet who does not have their own internal way of visualizing music based on their experience of it.

For a guiarist this will usually be based on the fretboards, whether based on a memory of sight or touch.

For a flautrist or a saxaphonist it will be more about touch.

But your ear cant play an instrument for you. It can hear mistakes and what sounds right but the hands or eyes or throat are where the memory is based that is required to reproduce sounds accurately so that we don't repeat the same mistakes over and over again.


To satisfy the ear, We develop a sophisticated system of visualizing music so that we can achieve the results the ear ill enjoy.

Demonstrate a stubborn refusal to learn that which you don't understand.

I'm not arguing a political point here, I'm giving you a glimpse of a type of understanding you could attain through hard work, but that you definiitely won't if you insist on calling it rubbish.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

And I wish you'd pay attention to your own post.

>>"Any beginner needs a good teacher, right?"
>>
>>I don't agree with this! I've had various kinds of music lessons >>over the years, some good, some terrible. A good teacher can be >>great, but a bad one is worse

So a beginner doesn't need a bad teacher then ... but a good teacher ... so you agree with the poster ...
