Many people interested in choral music wonder if they can join in even though they can’t sight read music.
After all, people learn how to sing along to their favorite songs all the time without any musical training — albeit with varied results. There are even extremely talented singers that would make a valuable asset to any choir, but they can’t read music.
Still, many directors insist that their choral singers learn to read music. For some, it is about the discipline and intricate understanding this practice gives you. For others, it is about tradition, being able to join the long legacy of great choral music.
