Most definitely there is musical literacy. We should consider music as another “language”, that is highly codified. I don’t know how to play any musical instrument nor sing in a choir. Barely learned how to read notes up to do-rei-mi. Nor can I naturally hear and name the differences among notes in accordance to their “code”. Hence, could never work in a music library.
It’s a good little chart to help others see their spheres of strengths and weaknesses.
