Finger numbers, notes, or sight reading?

gchicago9 asked:


A few months ago, i started learning to play the cello, and as you can imagine, we had to learn to read music first. Then we started to learn how to play certain notes in first position. I practiced a lot at home and memorized all of our notes so far in first position, and I can play the notes when I see them on the staff. However, my teacher tells us to write in the note numbers and I did once but it didn’t make it easier. My question is why is it easier for me to play when looking at the actual notes and which do you think is better for a beginning student to do: Write in finger numbers underneath/ on top of the music, the notes, or just learn to read looking at the quarter/eighth/etc notes themselves?

Sight reading help?

SADAf_dodi asked:


I am getting ready for college and my weakest point is sight reading. Do you have any practicing tips to help and ideas?
I have read that when practicing play only 2 – 6 bars at a time. Is that a good practice habbit?
And does playing a song in your head help you with sight reading? Like say I have music and I practice reading it in my head.

Thanks for any help
