I haven't had any formal musical training, but I have educated myself well enough to be able to read and write music!. I unfortunately don't have very good composition skills, but some people, such as Hans Zimmer, just have a natural musical inclination!. People like this often do have the capabilities to hear music in their head and then translate it to paper!. It's amazing, I wish I could do it, but it's a pretty rare gift!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Good question!. Sometimes composers that don't read music have music secretaries that write things down for them, but I can't imagine how that could be possible in Zimmer's case!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
