Sight Reading

[mrpiano1]

I've been learning piano for about 3-4 years and enjoy the time spent learning but progress in learning to instantly read bass clef is much slower than I anticipated. Many comments on the board suggest learning how to sight read with many tips provided. Besides starting with music below your current level of play, Should I always attempt HT or would working with HS base clef only first be an acceptable approach?

In order to improve your bass clef reading, I would recommend working with bass clef alone. 

Take a piece:
play LH bass clef alone.
play the bass clef part with your RH.
divide the bass clef part between both hands.

Notice how that exercise does not stick to playing the music as written.  Instead we focus on working with the bass clef with all combinations of HS or HT.

Do whatever allows nothing less than 100% certainty with zero guesswork, at first. Use this approach:

until you recognise any note on the staff at once with little thought.
