Finally, when you know what notes can be played in what position, you don't even have to think about it. You can just play by ear and rattle off scales and arpeggios immediately.
This is the key to good sight-reading. When you get a piece of music for the first time at a rehearsal, you don't have time to look it over and try to figure out the positions for every note. For example, you'll see that the piece is in E major and you'll get the following sequence of notes: G#, A, D#, E, C#, B, A, F#, G#, E. If you know your scales and you have good sight-singing skills, this becomes extremely easy to play. You'll already know what the phrase sounds like even before you attempt to play it! Nobody has time to think about the positions when you have to play a new piece in a band starting in about twenty seconds from the time that you first receive the music. That's why learning music by positions doesn't work.
