Blown Away – Desha

Deb754 asked:


Heyy!! This is my first song I’ve ever made. I’ve never had piano lessons and heck, I don’t even know how to read music notes! So that explains why I can’t play well. Haha. But I try eh? Oh, my piano makes this awful sound when I press the chords. Try to ignore it if possible. Enjoy the video! Ignore the Noise! Love the music! … “blown away” blown away desha

How to be faster at reading jazz sheet music?

SidewalkerTexasRanger asked:


i learned to read music from playing cello in middle school and bass in high school now but i am pretty slow at it. i can find notes pretty good but it is rhythm that messes me up. if theres alot of things like 16th notes mixed with rests and 8th notes and dotted stuff, syncopation i guess, i usually just stop playing and have to listen to the other bass players and try to figure what theyre doing out and copy it the next time we play. anyone know a way to get better at this?
