Sight Reading Skills Text

Why another book on sight reading?

This book is not yet another set of sequential sight-reading pieces which all too often turn into dry and uninspiring exercises. It is a book to help in gaining skills in order to be able to explore good music meaningfully.

When teaching this subject at university, there was not a great deal of literature available to aid the student. In less than one year students struggling with sight reading needed to be strong enough readers, able to tackle Bach's WellTempered Clavier. This book is the accumulation of all the approaches and experiments that over the years reaped good results. I also use these ideas when teaching students of different ages and stages within my private studio.
