It was only after I stopped looking at the music, and started working them out in my head, that I started getting any real benefit.


Hear, hear!

This was true for me as well.

Perhaps my concentration was just that limited, but if I concentrated on the paper, my mind focused on reading/interpreting/playing the correct note on the paper - as the paper commanded, I did. (Which, of course, seldom worked out for me because rarely does a player get the chance to play three octaves of an unmodified scale in a performance piece - and those modifications would always throw me - my fingers always wanted to continue the pattern I had practiced so often.)

Without the paper, the sound itself dictated what I must do. So, in the end, I had to think a lot more about what I was hearing, and which fingering(s) would produce the next correct sounds/interval. Through this, I finally gained a bit of the understanding I had missed before. Those modifications in printed music might still throw me the first few times, but my ears and fingers were now better at working together at finding correct intervals.

It took my focus off of paper, and placed it squarely on sound.

Maybe not for everyone - but it sure helped me.
