How do I learn sight reading for the piano quickly?

Tags: , , , ,

J_man asked:


Hi, I’m a grade 4 pianist and I never really learned to sight read, I used to just write the alphabets of each notes next to the notes and just play them as I go along, however, as I start playing some more advanced music, I realize I just couldn’t keep up with the shifting octaves and the alphabets, it was then I realized that’s a bad habit I have to change.
So can anyone give me some tips on how to quickly learn sight reading?

ChrisRx83 asked:


I hate sight reading music. I’d rather memorize it but I did it for a couple of pieces that I haven’t played in a while and have forgotten how to play. This one is JS Bach’s Praeludium 1 in C Major, BWV 846. On a K Kawai baby grand.

Question about sight-reading on guitar?

Tags: , , , ,

Mice asked:


Hey guys, I play guitar and when I sight read sheet music I see a note and I don’t really think about what note it is I just see it and play the fret it corresponds to (note I can only play in open position, I can play in others but it takes a while) So anyway, Is this bad? Should I first identify the note then play it or should it be instantaneous? (BTW I can read music perfectly so it’s not like I don’t know the notes and I know all the notes in open position) And if this is bad, Is there a way to break this?
Ya so what I’m wondering is when I read sheet music I just see the note and play it, it just flows naturally, Should I be thinking what note I’m playing or should I just play it?
