Bill, if you can sing your music on the names of the notes and in rhythm,
I'm sure you'll have no problems correctly anticipating the proper pitches.
I used to teach ear-training and this was one of the ways we taught it - the
students would be given weekly assignments for which they'd have to conduct
themselves while singing the music on the names of the notes.
If the names of the notes get in your way, you could simply practice singing
your part and that alone might fix the problem spots for you.
