sight reading repetoire

[coolpianoman]

I am trying to improve my sight reading and one way is to do a lot more of it.  My standard is intermediate and I have been using the excellent Alfred Masterworks essential keyboard repertoire volumes 1 and 2 with the objective of playing a number of them every day relatively slowly but note and timing perfect.  I would really appreciate any other recommendations of similar short pieces at the same level which would fulfil the same purpose. Many thanks

Hi coolpianoman,

My teacher recommends Church Hymns for sight reading. You will have to be able to read chords and play as you go. Also it doesn't include much technical difficulties. However, I am athiest, and I don't know how to get them

good suggestion.  when I was younger I used to play my grandmothers hymns ancient and modern.  OK for chords although tend to be three with a few 7ths and as you say does not include much technical difficulty or for that matter much rhythm or structure variation.  Any other suggestions anyone?

play through as many sonatinas in different styles as possble. these are a fine place to start as are the Clementi and Beethoven.  there are modern and romantic ones that become significantly harder but the key is volume.
