Sign in to disble this ad
Sight reading myself crossed eyed for the next few weeks in the final stages of preparation for my Carnival Cruise audition.
My biggest weakness at the moment is unusual eighth/sixteenth figures; tons of ties, syncopation, dots, and everything else imaginable in a single measure.
Does anyone have teaching material designed specifically for this, and if so, can you put it in a digital form that could be sent and downloaded?
If so p.m. me and we'll figure something out. Much appreciated!
