erm asked:


I want to take music in the leaving cert exam but I cant read music…

is it possible for me to learn in 2 years?
do I have a shot at higher level?

And do you know of any good free resources on the internet that teach to do so.

if not free then would you know any good ones that you would recomend yourself that have a reasonable price?

Thank you guys. I would greatly appreciate your help as music means a lot to me and is a HUDGE thing in my fam its just that no one can read it… lol… Well my uncle and his fam can, but theyre not as awesome as us… xP

thanks again
yeah, i can play guitar chords, but its not like I know each note I hit.

btw, thanks for all the answers guys!!!
ive read more of the answers and people are saying why I need two years, well I have to learn a lot as well as sheet reading, I have to be able to play an unprepared song – or two, and theres also loads of added guestions like about the style of music, irish music, the way an orcestra is put together… Ive got two long years ahead of me!… lol

Hiya asked:


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
wow, even though it’s just 2 answers…..i feel better. (lol) ok, thx guys! but now the problem is……when it comes down to choosing a Best Answer, i dont who to choose o.O owell, w/e

heres the question- i used to have piano lessons but i quit because i found it so embarrassing that i was crap at sight reading! i couldnt improve!
but i want to take up lessons again in september – do you think i should cram music theory into my head and start some intensive sight reading practice?!!?!?
i think its a good idea, but my dad doesnt…
hm…

yes thanks i know that lessons are for learning. its just that i could see my piano teacher getting impatient when i couldnt tell which notes i was supposed to be playing
