Sightsinging? Can you help me?
I have really good pitch and I have good vocal technique, but I'm a horrible sightsinger! Can anyone here help me with rhythms? In particular, difficult rhythms with 32nd notes and 16th notes and be able to just look at it and sing it?

Well, 32nd notes are confusing. They're just like doubled sixteenths. There are four sixteenths to every beat (if you're in 4/4 time), and if 32nds are doubled 16ths, there are...
8 32nds to every beat.
What might help, while sightsinging, is if you count in eighths.
Like, slap on your leg, and when your hand comes up, snap your fingers. So you ARE counting quarters, but you're counting eighths too.
As for just being able to look at it and sing it, that's difficult, especially with 32nd notes, you'll have to slow it down and count it out once or twice, but if you just remember that 32nd are doubled sixteenths, etc, you should be able to mark it out.
I hope this helps - if not, I can always try working through an example for/with you. I'm always willing to try harder!
