Teaching in class (particularly with elementary kids) 2. Being able to discuss things during rehearsal w/out stopping 3. A lot of styles of music utilize talk or singing or vamps/chord progessions 4. To test if you've fully memorized something 5. To prepare yourself for performing with distractions (because you will be distracted when you play) Those are just some off the top of my head... Hope that helps.. There’s a lot of reasons why you’d want to do this.

1. Teaching in class (particularly with elementary kids)
2. Being able to discuss things during rehearsal w/out stopping
3. A lot of styles of music utilize talk or singing or vamps/chord progessions
4. To test if you’ve fully memorized something
5. To prepare yourself for performing with distractions (because you will be distracted when you play)

Those are just some off the top of my head…

Hope that helps..
