It's funny though (or unfortunate) that although I can read the notation and know what notes are played and tell you the duration, I can't play it without hearing it first. I can read notation, but not music. To me, that requires a musician.

Quote:
At the beginning of an orchestra rehearsal, the conductor (forget who) held up the score and said "This is not the music. It's just some information about the music." IOW, he knew that musicians often refer to sheets of notation as "the music". He's reminding them that it's only "some information" (i.e. by no means all the information). Tab is additional information, of course. The "music" is what happens when you play. Music is sound, and nothing but sound, not dots or numbers on a page. You use the "information", but you also use your experience, your aural judgment and your technical skills.
