Synopsis

Sight-Reading is more than an 'extra' skill at the piano. To the author, it was the object of a lifetime exploration with non-professional students.Although progressive teachers in the early 1950s recognized the importance of sight-reading for their pupils, no effective method of teaching it had emerged until this book was published.Topics covered The story and problems of sight-reading * the correct way to practice sight-reading * the basis of pianistic skill * the musical ear and manual dexterity * how to break away from piecemeal reading * time and rhythm * learning to keep time * complicated fingering * how repetition works * how velocity is developed * finger agility and technical exercises * expressive playing * how to develop pianistic memory * sight reading versus repertoire
