[HANASHIR:6908] Re: In re "recorded music"

[Rick Lupert <Rick...>]

I think I said this about 2 years ago on the list, so forgive me if 
you've got a photographic memory and are horrified by redundancy...

I believe that music existed long before the science of music did. 
Melodies were created, strummed, sang, banged, whatever before anyone 
had the notion to develop a system of how to notate it.

I think reading music is a wonderful skill, but I'm more interested 
in the inherent artistry of the music which I lose sight of if I 
begin to think about the mechanical system in which it fits.

Many people create music by ear as well as learn it in that way.  I 
think both systems are valid ways to communicate music and each of us 
should find the way which is most comfortable to us in which to 
engage in that communication.
