Yeah, certain sight reading can be a nightmare. First off I'd probably do an 8va to avoid the amount of ledger lines. I might be missing something though, but aren't those "just" D and A notes (key of G) in the first bar, then D# and finally Eb and Bb in the last bars (key of Eb). Gotta stay on your toes though and be comfortable with the sharps/flats and notice the key signature change. I might be missing something though. The "nightmare' part of it is that the last measure of the first line has D# in it and the first measure of the second line has Eb. Obviously they're the same note. When you're actually 'sight reading' - as in "never having seen it before and having to play it in front of people" - that's a potential disaster scenario ... as it was for me last night -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

to be sure Having a degree from an internationally recognized music school has a degree of gravitas that one can't get easily by other less expensive means. It's certainly considered more official. I didn't realize though that this was something you were looking for? Are you wanting to have a music degree for future employment or something else? Not that long ago, having an "online" degree from a big school was considered "less than" going and doing the degree on campus. That has shifted as well, given how many people are learning remotely these days. I think the big problem with the online concept is that the education you get from a music school is only a small part of what you get from attending in person and whether or not you have a chance at a career in music. The environment of attending in person will be a major part of it, as well as that all important Networking. There are so many Berklee and GIT graduates that call on or recommend people they went with for jobs, I'm not sure if you'd create that sort of bond online. -------------------- My SoundCloud

I suspect it may depend on what doors you are hoping your CV will open. If you are doing a performance degree I can only think there is a lack of ensemble playing and opportunities.
I know in the UK a degree from the Open University which is one of the oldest remote learning Universities, is is held quite high, as you have to be disciplined to do the work and most people are doing the degrees along side fulltime jobs. Anyway back to the reading music, I guess I'll be getting better at it and brushing the dust off my copy of Finale as i enrolled in that Classical Composition course this morning!
