Miss Simple asked:


Hi,
Our festival concert* is coming up,
if you have ever been in choir, you would know what sight reading/singing* is.

I am in honors choir, in the 8th grade.
Lately, our teacher has been very tough on the site reading and stuff, and we always seem to mess up, and then she gets frustrated with us.

i find it very difficult…i know how to, but i have to use my pencil to count…i can’t just look at it and know what it is.

Are there any website guides or anything that can help me? thanks so much
(2nd)* – sight singing/reading, is taking measures of notes, and singing them by the pitch number, whether it be a flat or a sharp. its hard because the lines are so small.

(1st) * – Festival is where you sing 3 pieces in front of judges, who give you a score 1-5 … the lower the number, the better. The second part of festival is where they give the whole choir a piece of music they have never seen before, give you 3 minutes to rehurse it, and then you sing it…and again they judge you.

Nessa asked:


I played the Violin for two years (8-9 yrs old). I am now 19 and I want to start playing it..FYI…I was forced to quit, and I am mad about it.
Also, I do have music experience (sight reading, notes, melody, etc.) because I have been singing since I was 8 years old.
since I have music experience, how long or how difficult would it be if I took up the Violin again.

Sight Reading Secrets Revealed

Katya asked:


What would be the best way to self-teach how to sight-read and be able to sing pitch to sheet music?

I’ve been doing choir for a couple of years now and I’m missing out on the opportunity to be promoted to a higher level because I’m unable to sight-read and sing pitch from sheet music. I really want to move up, and everyone else in the class has taken singing lessons and things as children or when they were younger so we don’t cover much in class of that. (Weird to me I think, since we don’t learn that in class but are expected to learn! D: I’m willing to work for it though)

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
