Where to go from here? (sight reading)
on: May 27, 2010, 03:30:23 PM
I am a rising sophomore in college studying piano performance. One of the [many] areas that needs considerable improvement is the area of sight reading. As such, I have dedicated this summer to improvement in this area (not at the expense of improvement in other areas, of course).
Right now, I am at the point where I can sight-read through Schumann's "Album For the Young" as well as the pieces from
26 Italian Songs and Arias
(the latter at a considerably slow tempo, however).
My question is, where do i go from here? What works should I look at that are well suited for sight-reading at this level. I appreciate any feedback :]

it may be a little more difficult but with a lot of pieces of similar standard would be the mendelssohn song without words. There are some that may not be totally sightreadable but enough there that it could be use. Possibly also the 2 part inventions by Bach for some variation...
