I have a big trouble with counting because usually just count in music then I stop doing that and just go by other instruments, because i don't like to count.

I have a stupid problem with key signatures. :I
But that's not a really big deal because tenor saxes never really get anything difficult to work with.
The other thing is keeping up with large amounts of rests and not being able to come in once I've forgotten or skipped maybe one beat.

Sight-reading; I always have such a hard time counting and somehow miss measures. Then I'll have like a timpani solo and there'll be nothing because I'm way ahead of it.

I'm a guardie, and for me the worst part is flag. It's extremely difficult to do while jazz running, marching, etc. And when you mess up, you mess up BIG and NOTICABLE. Just the slightest screw up will be so obvious. Everything has to be just so and your silk can get a sail. Plus, the wind screws it up. Last of all, my director makes us do all these crazy angle tosses that I STILL can't do after 4 seasons. >:[

yay! another guardie!! biggrin
except i love flag. (i'm always relieved when i pick up flag. i know i'm not gonna drop unless its marching season and theres a giant gust of wind) i suck at weapons though. especially sabre cuz it hurts so freaking bad...
as for music stuff though (cuz i have done band before) i suck at counting anything more complicated than quarter notes and 8th notes...no dots or 16ths... sad i have to hear it, then i can do it fine....

Honestly, solos. sweatdrop I can play perfectly fine as long as at least one other person is playing, but the second I have to play anything remotely complicated alone, I freak myself so much out, it's like I've never played before. crying gotta work on that.

I get so nervous before auditions and concerts that I end up messing up.

Crash cymbals D:
I got a song where I play crash cymbals... and I'm terrible at it!
Any other percussion instrument I'm a protegy at... but not crash cymbals

Playing loud

and playing staccato

I'm a trombone so you would think loud and staccato were my forte (pun definitely intended) but instead I'm amazing at playing Soft and slurred I can play almost anything slurred

I also have major problems with auditions. I get really nervous and twitchy when I go into an audition or have to play for one person. When I play for a group or an audience alone, like a solo or something, i'm fine. I play confidently and only shake a little. but when I go into a room alone with someone, I get shaky and my confidence goes "weeeeee" out the window. I don't know why. Most people, its the opposite lol.
