| In jazz, everyone in the group is given sheet music, the wind and brass players must read off it, but the rythm section (drums,guitar,piano,bass) usually does not read it note for note, they see the style in wich to play and then improvise and learn the hits. So i think depending on what music or style you are playing or want to learn depends on wether u should learn to read or not. I think that it is important to learn how, and not just that but get a general idea reading treble and bass clef also. |
