Well I wouldn't recommend learning Beethoven's 5th without listening to (and memorizing) it many times before hand.
Why would you want to learn something that you haven't heard and enjoyed? That's something
I don't get (in the age of recorded music).
For orchestral music, learning by listening initially, then listening whilst following a score is training the ear and learning to rely on it before picking up the instrument.
Sitting down and looking at dot's first is the slow road to nowhere (for most people).
