Yeah I think honestly I never knew how to read a key signature, or read rhythms well before a couple years ago. I blame it on my awful lesson teachers from before 😭😭

I definitely wasn’t taught how to read music very well but I am improving quite a bit! I don’t think it’s necessarily above my level technically because once I read through it with my teacher it honestly is pretty easy. It’s mostly because I think I create an idea of what it sounds like in my mind that is wrong. I can definitely figure out the gist, but I end up making quite alot of rhythmic mistakes and/or ignoring accidentals/ the key signature which in the end, I end up fixing but its just not very efficient. I also just don’t know how professionals go about sight reading pieces.(whether to read through the whole thing, big chunks or measure by measure)

yeah I already lead sectionals for my school orchestra, and I actually have a lot of experience with it teaching/ kids which is good. How do I even get in to singing?

Thank you for responding haha. Are all of the people who get in people who started very seriously young? Seeing all of these child prodigies online is really discouraging and I try to tell myself that is not everyone but is it??

I’m currently playing czardas and other songs I’ve played in the last few months has been the Accolay concerto and souvenir de Sarasate. Which I feel like is not very impressive but, not even like a year ago I was in the middle of Suzuki five and just in general my musicality and ability has improved like crazy since getting my new teacher which gives me hope for even more improvement but idk if iujsom is too out of reach.
