chris,
i heard a story of a student of a famous singer (then in his anecdotage)
who learned all his music off records despite his teacher's efforts to learn
it from scratch(?). one day, the student was singing some aria when, all of a
sudden, the teacher through the aria book at him yelling "if you are going to
learn music from recordings, at least learn it from mine".
