Ah hah!  :) That makes a world of difference! Thanks for the 
clarification. 
I thought you meant listening to the music and notating it on paper, which 
in most cases (in unless you have perfect pitch), does involve playing it 
on 
your instrument. But the main point is actually trascribing it, emphasis 
in 
the "scribe" part of the word.
