My old teacher sight read through The Waldstien by Beethoven almost perfectly at a pretty fast tempo (not allegro, but pretty fast) but it took me a week to play all the notes right for the exposition right at like 50 beats a minute. Why does it take me so long to read through it? I am in the last level of piano, i dont know what they call it, i call it grade 11, but i tryed to learn this several years ago, and gave up, and then a year later did it again. I want to know how i can be like my old teacher and sight read like awesome.

Have a look through a couple of pages in this forum, there's been a few people asking the same thing and some useful replies.
