Thread Name: No such thing as a B-sharp
Subject: RE: No such thing as a B-sharp
Sorry - short version:

There are 4 basic skills in music

1) Playing ability (hands and/or heart)

2) Music theory

3) Reading skill (and maybe writing)

4) Composition/improv etc.

They all feed into each other but they are separate. You can excel any one area without being much cop at the others, no bother.
