this is related to dyslexia and trumpet fingerings but i was wondering How does dyslexia effect peoples ability to sight read music? I have always had trouble sight reading expecially in auditions. I get really confused with intervals in music theory expecially if its bass clef. I also think im tone deaf because I play a G and people say im playing a high middle C Its all so confusing. I can't even tell if im sharp or flat??? I love band but I hate dyslexia.

Bandie... I responded to you in another post about your dyslexia. But will answer here too...check out, Irlen Syndrome.... it suggests using plastic overlays and colored lenses for glasses.. to help with dyslexia. It helped my 3 older daughters all through school.
