After 10 1/2 months of learning, mostly on my own, with a few lessons here and there, I sat in with a community band last Tuesday evening. They handed me the music, which I'd never seen before, and off we went. I only thought I could play the tuba. I know the fingerings or thought I did, but my mind went blank. I kept losing my place and missing notes and sounded terrible. I can't sightread at all. I can take a piece of music and go over it a million times and play it, but I can't play anything cold turkey. Is that something that will come with practice and experience?
