Successful Music Sight Reading

Ask anyone who is a good sight reader how they came to be so. They will tell you: because they do it ALL THE TIME. There is no-one ‘born’ a good sight reader, just like there is no-one who is born able to read English fluently without having read a lot. The only way to become a good sight reader is to sight read constantly.

There are many factors involved in successful music sight reading:

· Rhythm reading
· Random note reading
· Melodic pattern reading
· Chord reading
· Melody playing
· Fingering
· Two hands reading/playing
· Playing with dynamics/articulation
· Playing under pressure
