Haha, I'm extremely HORRIBLE at ear training, and in no way can I sing at first sight at all... But none of this has mattered at all when I compose. So, uh.
It's never been the case I'm stuck in a composition and thinkin' "Oh shit, I wish I had better ear training(!?)" ..so I don't know how you (or anyone who's mentioned anything along these lines) draw the parallels.
(I guess is because ear training and singing are only related to traditional music. It's pretty much useless if you're going to work with something atonal, pure-sound based, aleatory, etc etc.)
