Oh, I wouldn't call myself a musician. I played tenor sax for a long time until my studies took me elsewhere and I haven't really played in years. My knowledge of dynamics and their notation comes from playing in a youth orchestra affiliated with the university in my home town. Lots of people that play music kind of eschew music theory and playing with classical music groups because it isn't "cool" but from what I see they kind of suffer for it. I can't tell you how many guitar players I've met have proudly told me that they learned everything they know without learning to read music and then proceeded to show off sloppy, sloppy songs and arrangements.
