Reading can be a hinderance as much as a help. I don't advocate NOT reading, but I spend alot of time in the youth band getting the kids over not having notation in front of them. With some it's like a bad habit they have a hard time shaking.


And you think you're doing those kids a favor? Man, you'd better step back and re-evaluate what you're doing. Are you calling reading a "hindrance" because you can't do it yourself? Are you teaching those kids that they'll never go farther, or be better than, you?


Sigh! I'm not telling them not to read, but I do want them to be able to play a song without having notation. Mostly because I'd have to be the one to notate alot of it and I simply don't have time. If you're volunteering for the job...

Again - reading is good, but being able to make a go of it without notation is at least as good. I would never advocate that somebody _NOT_ learn to read. That would be really dumb, and I'm not that dumb. Let me repeat:
