When you are playing and reading music:
Do you place your fingers on the apprpriate key/tone hole, etc. as your mind's eye sees the written information (the music);
Or, does your minds eye see the written information, translate that to a note in your mind i.e., "A", "B", "C", etc., then relate that to a fingering position on the instrument, then *act*?
As a beginner (and still learning to read the notes - and the fingering for them) I feel that I should be doing the former - letting my fingers do the walking (or reading as it were). Understand that I know I must know how to look at a sheet of music and *read* it even without an instrument.
Just seems to me like a lot of translating has to happen in less than a milisecond if the latter is used.
Whatcha think?
