I'm doing 27 things
i suck at sight reading. if i’m actually going to be active as a musician in New York, i have to be good at it. sight-reading accompanists are always needed in New York and being one could provide me with significant job opportunities. which, as a young composer, i’ll need.

i’m a slave to my perfect pitch. i think i could be 100 times the musician i am today if i had a stronger sense of relative pitch. i’d like to be able to transpose anything into any key at sight and rely more on intervals for learning complex melodies. it would improve my understanding of phrasing, my ability to deal with music that’s not being performed at the pitch at which it’s written, and my ability to learn and process difficult music.
