i.e., listening to it and visualizing the chords.  But I also read music 
reasonably
well.  I took the AGO SPC exam at the end of April.  I couldn't take that exam
if I couldn't read music, including sight read a page as part of the exam.
So it is possible to do both.  Haven't heard yet whether or not I passed 
the exam.
