Do the notes repeat? Step up? Step down? Skip up? Skip down? Repeat? To help develop this skill, take any piece of music and point to the first note and say “Start.” Moving your finger to the second note, name the relationship from the first note to the second. When you practice sight reading a new piece of music, look for patterns in how the notes relate to each other. Look for Relationships Between Written Notes Once you feel comfortable tapping the rhythm on the cards, pick up the speed and see if you can tap the rhythm faster! Shuffle the cards and then try again.ģ. Lay out the cards in random order and try tapping or clapping the rhythm. Use the rhythm cards from our lesson materials, or make some of your own. To make things easier, practice reading rhythms alone. When you sight read a song you need to be able to read both rhythm and pitch at the same time. You’ll be surprised at how much progress you’ll make with just a little bit of consistent effort. It doesn’t need to take long! For instance, you could make a habit of dedicating five minutes at the beginning of each practice session. Dedicate time to practice sight reading each time you sit at the piano. Realize that it’s going to take some focused sight reading practice in order to master it. Sight reading, the ability to read and play an unfamiliar piece of written music, is a separate skill from performing. I like this one because it allows you to work out acute kinks one by one (through customization) and then broaden your fluency.Practice sight reading now by using our tips below! 1. They are separate skills.Īnother (free) site that allows customization of exercises: You can also have great intonation and not be able to read music. You can know the name of the note you are reading and even the fingering, but have bad intonation. Personally I wouldn't use something like this with the instrument necessarily, but I guess it depends on what you play just because being able to read the music and playing them on the instrument are different things. They have a bunch of "drills" as they call them and are free as long as you use it them in the site. It also has the average time it takes you to identify each note. They drill you with note after note and you need to say which it is. and it's free if you used it on the website is this one: One I've used and liked because first I can put the note names to be Do, Re, Mi, Fa. I was looking for something like this once too.
