Sight-singing

Hands featured in picture above are mine:)
When was the last time you had a sinking feeling in your heart?Mine was approximately 4:12pm yesterday. The violin teacher dropped a ( huge to me, small and insignificant to her) bomb-shell that there'll be apart, from sight-singing, an additional thing to learn .I would be required, after listening to come piano-playing for a bit to identify the period and composer. That and the other rythmn, dynamics and stuff. MORE TO MEMORIZE. The last time I opened up my theory of music to commit to memory the various composers was a good 15 years ago. Oh dear oh dear oh dear. ( I feel like Alice in Wonderland...free-falling down the rabbit hole)
