The U.S. based Singer “Mehrnoosh” and family

Oddly, there is a debate about whether or not a musician should be literate. Music is an aural art and the process of learning any music involves hearing and imitating. There are successful musicians (mostly in popular styles) who never learned to read or write music. It’s true there are fantastic performers and even Composers who don’t read and write music. Others are fully literate as musicians. Which would you rather be? Imagine living in a country where you speak the language but cannot read the signs or newspapers. Music is a language. The written form lets you process what you hear visually. It leads to deeper understanding, which is also enjoyable.
