Hey! I know I just asked this question, but I failed to mention that I am a professional, paid singer. I do shows and have been for about a year. Ive been singing for twelve and have had many trainers and coaches. Ive been with my current one for about three years. This is kind of how I learned to play. Ive been basically forced to sight read all the music thats ever been put infront of me. I just learned how to transfer it to the piano.
Now that weve gotten that out of the way,
Hey! does this sound halfway decent? I recorded it on my iphone (horrible quality) … Ive never had piano lessons.
Should I take lessons?

ok, well, i have this audition thing for violin. it’s pretty tough, and i don’t know if i want to audition. the thing is……i have been working on this music piece for about 2 months now,and i don’t want to disappoint my violin teacher and mom. (my dad is cool with w/e i choose, he just wants me to b happy.) i am actually re-auditioning. the requirements r the excerpts they provide and a random sight reading piece. the sight reading was pretty hard. also, i think it might interfere with school work, because they have rehearsals every Mon. at about 8pm during the school year. so basically my problem is: if i do it, it’ll have to work SUPER hard and i might b bad. if don’t, my violin teacher and my mom will most likely be disappointed in me,maybe even mad. i feel, rly nervous, scared, pressured, stressed, and i’m in a turmoil. srry i cant explain the situation so well, my head is all clouded up, and i cant rly think straight about this. but, i’ll add as much more detail as i can. plz help me, thx! btw, the orchestra group is called: TYOF (The Youth Orchestras of Fairfax) website is: http://tyof.org/news.php

i have a piano class at school, and ive noticed these things on sheet music i’ve never seen before. and i have a lot of trouble practicing. ive been playing piano for years on my own, i got a private teacher for maybe 2 and a half months. and now im a freshman in high school with a piano class mixed with well experienced players, and people who have never seen a grand piano before.
first there’s this thing beside the time signature.
its a “C” with a line through it. i’m not talking about the note middle c. i mean an actual “C” with a vertical line Through it. ive asked friends, and they have never seen it before. the teacher is ALWAYS busy helping someone, so its hard to ask him anything.
Then i heard somewhere that the time signature affects the amount of beats a dotted quarter note gets. is that true?
and i am HORRIBLE at sight reading. i need major help with that. i can read sheet music fine, but i have a hard time playing while reading. i read first, memorize it, then play. my teacher can play anything you put in front of him as if he wrote it. how do i get better at this? are there any websites?
