Many
people give up an instrument because of the rigidity
of written music. They often can't find the music for
the things they'd like to play given the choice. They
also stop listening. The more a musician relies on sheet
music, the less they are able to play without it.

|
Musicians who play by ear
train their ear, often subconsciously, to pick up things that make
music flow from them. |

| Good Technique
/ Bad habits.. |
 |
What is important
with an instrument is to play it. Finding an enjoyable
way to play it is as important as learning 'good technique'. It is
possible that you may pick up bad habits by having too much
fun, but it is also possible that playing scales & 'long notes'
will bore you into giving up. Technique is important, but if you learn
to listen, you will learn to pick up when you are not producing a
good sound and correct it. Often this can be by trial & error.

| The
Cons: playing without reading... |
| |
There may be times in the future when you may find it
beneficial to be able to read: joining a big band or orchestra
for example.
However,
taking the decision to free yourself of the shackles of
the page can inject real passion in your pursuits. You're
likely to play more...& learn faster.. & you can always learn to read later if you want to.. |

| Perhaps you suddenly have the
urge to play a particular tune - perhaps a mutual favourite of someone you’re
with. If you can only read music, you’ll have to take a trip to the
shop. If you can sing the tune out on your instrument by ear, you can play
it there & then. |
