A lot of pianists learn how to play piano without reading music, ever.
They still use the basics of theory, to get started, for example to learn
chords, scales, and popular patterns, but they will train themselves to play
piano by ear, rather than relying on a musical score (written music).
Playing by ear is a very positive thing for beginners learning to play
piano, and some of the best pianists in the world can’t read music, they
play purely by ear, this method of learning to play piano enables you to put
a lot more feeling into your songs, and very often musicians that play just
by relying on a score, don’t seem to have any dynamic in their playing.
