Any Musicians

Any musicians here?

As a child I learn music and participated in Brass bands and choirs.  I have recently tried Brass again, but cannot read the music fast enough and get the message from brain to my fingers quick enough, follow the time changes, or sometumes hit the note. I guess I expected to be able to play close to how I remember.  

Is it just tim Or maybe I can no longer do the quicker tunes. Processing definately seems to take longer just in the norm day to day.

  • I play piano, and whilst a lot of my playing is pure muscle memory, I find if I'm going back to a piece I haven't played in a long time, I have to go back to the sheet music, and play at a much slower tempo than it is supposed to be played at. It can take a few days or weeks, but it comes back to me quicker than it took me to learn it in the first place. Maybe it will come back to you too, given enough time?
