Summary of This Method
Designed as a true training program, Improve your sight-reading! guides the student step by step to transform sight-reading into a musical reflex. The goal is simple: to overcome the most common obstacles (rhythmic hesitations, note-by-note reading, lack of anticipation) through a structured and progressive approach.
Each stage aims to "prepare the ground" before playing. You start with rhythmic and melodic exercises directly related to specific technical issues, to secure essential landmarks (pulse, motifs, melodic contours). You then proceed with prepared pieces, accompanied by questions that direct attention to key elements to spot quickly: phrase organization, repetitions, transitions, points of vigilance.
Finally, the method offers a series of carefully graded sight-reading pieces to simulate real conditions: analyze quickly, play without stopping, maintain a steady pulse, and stay musical. With its numerous practical tests, this workbook is a relevant tool to consolidate daily sight-reading and approach "graded" exam tests more confidently.
