Reading music, why it’s important to be able to

Reading music

Many folks I know often ask me, ‘Is it really that important to know how to read music?’
In this piece we will be approaching the problem and we will look for an answer to this question, that will open up new possibilities of how we can define the study of musical reading.
For starters, we have to admit that it’s not that easy to answer the question ‘Is it really important to be able to read music?’ because everyone has different musical requirements: some people are happy with playing everything exclusively by ear without studying, while others, who have started by self-teaching themselves music, have never studied the issue deeply and now feel they have a lack of knowledge in this sense.
