"LDT shouldn't you be practicing concertina or are you using a time machine?"
actually I should be working 'sussh' ;) (your from c.net I'm guessing)

I can't remember music off by heart...any tips for how to? I've tried the old trick of associating the thing you want to remember with a familiar object...but its not working for notes. I have a hard enough time playing the right thing with it written down in front of me, my fingers seem to have a different idea to my brain.

I don't think I could perform in public....I get nervous if I even think someone is listening.
