I will have suggested which pieces to learn for your sight reading but you could also
sight read a couple of bars in a piece later in your book
sight read pieces from Supersonics Plus
LOOK THROUGH THE MUSIC FIRST!
LOOK THROUGH THE MUSIC FIRST!
Below are some tips to walk you through...
What will the BEAT FEEL like? (Clap a couple of bars to feel it.)
Any sharps or flats?
Which ? Do you need to circle them in the music to help you spot them?
Where are the jumps and steps?
Look out for the biggest jumps!
What patterns can I see? 5 notes going up. 5 notes going down, patterns that repeat - not just one bar maybe whole line?
Where are the landmark notes that I know really well? Check you are on that note when you get there. Maybe circle them to help.
HEAR the music in your head before you play - if the pattern goes up, hear the notes going up in your head.
Count in for 2 bars and KEEP SAYING THE RHYTHM - this is hard at first but gets easier if you...practise!
Find your START notes and correct FINGERS and OFF YOU GO!
Have a look at these pieces to improve your sight reading.
