    If anyone’s wondering why you would do this as a musician.

    Obviously you can visualize how you’d play something, but skipping the obvious things…

    You can do music theory analysis on pieces you’re interested on, it’s something that helps later with improvisation or composition

    It also helps you understand the style you’re studying a bit more, it takes a lot of effort although with years of experience you can probably analyze a piece of music fairly fast, and on the bus even

      the picture is compressed to smush, but looks like a piano+voice piece, could be memorizing the lyrics + rhythm+ intervals, useful if you’re expected to sing by memory

        As a former singer I used to bring my sheet binder with me to do exactly this. Id memorize lyrics, work on pronunciation, rhythm, cues, etc. there’s a lot you can do to silently work on a piece of music.
