Yes, and then Rosie jumped right in and said everything I wanted to say...humph! LOL...just kidding...but she did put it well. There are people who just do better by ear and really with "Trad" music, it's a more honored way of doing things. I read "notes" ok, and have a basic understanding of rests and such...but mostly I learn by ear using the notes to just guide me along. Just remember this: bagfed

Sorry...;-)

Seriously, though, you wouldn't believe some of the flame wars that come up on some music lists because of this subject! Seems to vary depending on the instrument...the guitar list I'm on is pretty laid back about the whole thing, and agrees that both methods have merit.

On the other hand, I off and on subscribe to a fiddle list where some people have the view that reading is EVIL and will damage musicians somehow, as will being classically trained. Those people are NUTS! I've never posted to the list because they scare me...but they also post info on local events, so I'm usually drawn back to resubscribe if I run away for awhile.
