Good question. They sent me the sheet music in advanc, I was to learn
it and reproduce it at the audition. I know I made some mistakes in
rhythm because of my nerves, but mostly I couldn't quite see the
sharps and the flats. Sounds funny, this, I'll try to say it
differently. I have big trouble seeing intervals, I have some trouble
seeing rhythms. So I can learn the music, decode it, so to speak, but
when I get nervous, or it gets difficult in some other way, the notes
in front of me do not help, they just turn back into gibberish....
Hope this makes sense..... (It's hard enough to explain in dutch, let
alone in english....)
