Books for sight reading?
on: October 22, 2012, 01:19:26 PM
Im spending time every day with this. Reading random notes. But Im thinking I could improve faster with some help. So I thought theres maybe some good books on the subject? Something like big book of theory + a lot of practice notes.
Anyone has something like this that you can recommend?
Regards

Helllo Richard,
I found some sites which may be helpful. They contain sight-reading exercices that you can adjust to your level and needs.

I also found these helpful:

ABRSM offers progressive sight-reading tests:

Piano sight-reading from John Kember:

Furthermore, you can start sight-reading easy (easier than the pieces you play) and straightforward pieces and continue with more dificult ones.
Generally, I haven't tried any books sight-reading, so I can't give you more information about them.
I hope I've been helpful,
