I bought my own electric whiule underway in Malaysia and am praticing the chromatic scale to get comortable.

I am as my tagline says. Is there a way to overcome this?

I want to set a good example for my 11 year old daughter who seems to be having the same problem ( her teacher says she lacks the rythm but can do the fingering), but desperatley wants to learn.

Does anybody have exercises or ideas on how to work through this?

Like me, if it is playing (radio/cd) the words come back and the melody, but once its not, all is gone. Though, she is a little better that. Not me though LOL!
