Quick tips that are very efficient : - never look at your hands, you need the spatial recognition / proprioception - learn how to read note aloud or without rhythm the FASTER you can, you have to instantly recognize a note - read ahead, you have to anticipate some notes, a bar or more, being good with the two first points will help a lot with that - when you read ahead, solfège will help you to sing in mind the melody before you play it, so your brain know what's going on and you keep focused - practice ALL your scales, it will gives you natural fingering, so you won't struggle with this when sight reading most of the time (it's also the most beneficial exercise for all skills) - and very important, try to think as little draws, when you read a note, you have to associate the following note as a whole pattern with your hands, it's exactly like reading a word, you only read the first and last letters, and fgirue out wrods wahetver the oredr of the lteters jsut lkie mgaic :D - see the HUGE progresses you will make everyday if you go always out of your comfort zone when sight reading, headaches are a good sign.

I was a poor sight reader, and will never be great at it. But one day I realised I was not seeing patterns or except for easy music not seeing complex chords, only the individual notes in a chord. As with reading words and sentences, it helps to train yourself to go beyond de-coding individual notes and begin to see whole phrases, rather like at first seeing whole words rather than letters, then progressing to several phrases or bars. In the end it should be not much more difficult than reading a short sentence. Those who play by ear a lot tend to delay facing up to getting decent at sight reading because they fall back on aural skills and even make assumptions about what the music says rather than actually read it. I did this for years until I owned up!

I know it‘s been about a year since the video was posted, but I just read your comment and I kind of have the same Problem. I wouldn’t call myself a professional or very good player, but probably somewhere in the upper intermediate sector. It became a habit where I‘d know the song by heart as soon as I could play it and then only looked at the sheets for phrasing etc. It sounds like you‘ve improved your sightreading. So would you say it‘s better to read easier pieces, but more of them with less mistakes or let‘s say something like a Rachmaninoff with 8 notes at a time?

What also helps (from my own experience): - Sight-read just below your playing level - Music theory definitely (like you said) - Read through / quickly analyze the entire piece before playing. What is the key? Are there any accidentals? Are there arepeggios or other patterns? Etc. - Try to humm or play the song in your head before playing it and see how it compares! - Try to mix up genres.

A great resource for sight reading that boosted my ability noticeably is a hymnal. I use the baptist hymnal and it is a master class on hand positions and chords and the songs are very simple and musical
@johndouglas77874 жыл бұрын
Sean I agree, the church hymnal is a great way to improve ones' sight reading skills. You have to read multiple notes instantly and keep the pulse moving at a singable tempo. No stopping. My teacher always said to read the chords from bottom to top and continue to look ahead and even if you make a mistake to just keep going. I remember I was 7 or 8 years old when introduced to hymns and at 10 was playing weekly in church 5 hymns for the adult Sunday School to sing before they started the lesson of the day. This was accomplished along with my regular assignments from my piano teacher. I am now 63 with a lifetime of sight reading. To those frustrated with their sight reading.....be patient and it will come. One important thing to remember that was mentioned earlier is to practice sight reading music one to several levels beneath your ability. If you can't read perfectly the first time find something easier and work up from there. Slow down as well.

I agree on music being a language. However, for me, it‘s more like a medium to convey someone‘s emotions and thoughts, just as she said that sometimes it‘s hard to „get“ the piece or the author‘s style, it‘s because we‘re „reading“ his thoughts directly. It’s their individual pattern of thinking and it‘s just as specific as spoken language, if not more authentic when it cones down to conveying „raw“ feelings. To me, it‘s a very abstract, yet interesting way to convey information. It‘s an intimate information with universal meaning, certain chords or combination of notes are mellow, sighing, sad, heavy, happy etc. You take in those emotions with a completely different way of „taking in the information“

I can sight read Bach and Beethoven pretty good, but when I get to Rach, I fail miserably when I have to remember the accidentals for the measure. Yes, my memory is that bad. Usually I hear the wrong note and then determine the correction. BUT this doesn't work with Ligeti which makes Rach look like Bach. Same applies to memorization. Bach and Beethoven, rich with patterns compress nicely for easy memorization, Ligeti (I wanted to learn a couple pages of Devil's Staircase to shock people when I have a chance to play) for me is uncompressible since there are no patterns requiring 10x to 100x more time to memorize and maintenance. I know this is a very cruel thing to ask, but if you've never seen Devil's Staircase, I'd love to see how well you do. (Or something equivalent if you already know DS.) You have a wonderful attitude and are tremendous gift - I'd say I hope you never change but I really mean I hope you continue to grow and enlighten.

If you are a bad sight reader the best way to learn is to read very very simple sheet music, always without watching the keyboard and not stopping playing until the end of the piece. Once you can play really simple songs then upgrade to a bit more complicated level. I was awful at reading and learnt a lot with a method called PianoMarvel (I don't have anything to do with them, no spam). It's the best way I found to start learning the basic process of recognizing chords fast and being able to position the fingers in the right place. I've been practicing for two years now for 15 minutes a day or so and can sight read intermediate-advanced level pieces, so playing is more entertaining. But I don't really study any piece I play tbh

I can't speak for you. I'm the worst sight reader I've ever met. A casebook in sight-reading crappiness. I started learning piano at 13 (I asked for lessons as a 13th birthday present - my Mom assumed it would be a pretty cheap present - ha ha). I had a great ear then, but still have, at 61, a really really REALLY lousy technique. But, compared to my almost non-existent sight-reading "skills", my crappy technical piano skills are wonderful. I find that sight-reading is very tiring. As soon as I lose concentration (sometimes I never even START concentrating), it all falls apart. I can be destroying some slow Bach, and suddenly I've totally lost any hope of continuity. I've never really thought through the thought processes which are taking place, but something just snaps and I've totally lost it. So your question is my question. Maybe someone out there has a path to sight-reading nirvana. Tiffany has mentioned a couple of things which help a bit, but something is still fundamentally missing in the connection between my eyes, hands and brain.

Read the sheetmusic of pieces you don't know so you can't fake anything playing it by ear. Look at the key and time signature before playing a note. "6 flats, oh, Gb, or its relative Eb minor. 12/8... Compound time signature, 12 beats (4 pulses) per measure, eighth note gets the beat." You need to understand this before you start. Can you play the Gb (Eb natural and harmonic minor) scale? Do that before you start. Play a slower tempo than indicated unless you're sightreading for a grade (still play it a bit slow. I always preferred accuracy over speed.) Eyes should be scanning ahead a measure or two for fluency. Read a passage from any book aloud. How do you recite it fluently the 1st time? Because you're not reading what you're speaking. You're reading, then speaking what you already have read. Absolutely agree with Miss Poon about sightseeing constantly, and repeat, repeat, repeat until you're driving your family and neighbors crazy.
