Why it's so important to have good ears when we can read?

[Quentin]

Not all music is written. But even when it's written, there are situation when you might want to improvise, add ornaments, etc. Also, music is made to be heard - it's all about the ear really. So having superior aural skills is not "nice to have", it's absolutely essential to being a good musician.
