I have pretty good ears too, and a solid background as a pianist and harpsichord, but swear to god, everytime I start working on a new contemporary score with a coach, I feel like I'm learning how to read music all over again. 20 years of training and sight reading and I still can't sing through this, never mind COUNT!!! It's horrible. But somehow, it always "magically" settles in.

I could do all of the stuff during classes - melodic, rhythmic dictation, sightsinging with Ottman/Piano, the four-part harmony and stuff.<br /><br />But my freshman first semester ET teacher was also the percussionist prof. When I went to his studio for the sightsinging portion of my semester exam, he said "ok sing a 5th above this pitch"<br /><br />He tapped a fucking xylophone and all I could hear was "thunk."<br /><br />He helped me out and sang the pitch so I got my A.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02059005235570107648noreply@blogger.com
