This is how I feel about watching videos to learn something versus reading an article or a paper about the subject. I would almost always rather read about it than have to sit and listen to some awful youtuber blab about themself while dancing around the subject I had interest in.

I had a music teacher who would read sheet music like this. He said he could hear it, and he prefered it to actually listening to a recording because his imagination was so much richer than what could be captured by a recording.

I thought it was amazing and really envied this ability.

[–] zik@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

It's not uncommon among high level classical musicians apparently.

Personally, I prefer Spotify.

[–] gramie@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

My son, who is an aspiring composer, can do this. It blows my mind, and makes me think of the scene in Amadeus where Salieri is reading the score and hearing it play in his head.

I am a conductor and going through the notes like this is recommended otherwise you might give incoherent instructions later.

“Man that b flat fucking slapped” - This guy probably

I can read sheet music, like... I know what the symbols mean and the scale and timing etc... I can't hear it when I am reading it though. I've sometimes wondered if that's common or if I am a freak.

[–] MasterNerd@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think this might come down to what instrument you used. I played clarinet for several years and could never hear the notes in my head, I just associated them with fingerings. Now, I could tell if a note was in tune, but only by hearing it.

On the other hand, if you're a vocalist of some kind, you need to be able to sing the correct note based on the sheet music. The closest I ever got was getting the correct key and then basically shifting pitch based on whatever key I'm in.

I never took any music theory classes so I'm mostly just talking from my own personal experience

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I never took music theory either... 🤔

Maybe I should find a class on it, just for the sake of learning it. Personally, I don't really see the point other than that. I'm of the mind that you can create good music without knowing jack about it. Just start making sounds that make you feel things. Eventually you'll make a banger; even if you're the only one who thinks so.

When you get old and lose sense of hearing.. guess who will still be enjoying music

OP may be meme-ing but this old man will have the last laugh

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

I wonder if there's an audible version

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Much respect for that dude. I wish I could read music more than very slowly with a lot of stumbling. I love playing music, but I've never gotten that great with any instrument even with lots of practice. It's just not in my blood. I wish it was.

And reading music like that- it sounds better in your head than any recording I'm sure. You're your own conductor.

[–] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago

I mean, he probably literally is a conductor, he's studying it so he knows how to conduct it. There's lot of variables to keep in mind and the conductor needs to know the music better than any of the musicians.

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I hate when people in bus read their music sheets aloud

[–] Willer@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Let John Williams cook...

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fun Fact: They used to print jingles for products as sheet music, so people could play it or simply hum and get the idea of what it sounds like.

[–] blssflbreeze@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

that's kinda clever. anybody who plays it probably is much more intimately connected to it than someone who heard it.
