I am not sure what sight reading really is. It is obviously a lot more then decoding, but if it is not spelling, then it still is reading in a foreign language you do not understand.
how many sight readers are actually capable of analysing a score harmonically of Wagner in real time ? You must have the brain of a chess grandmaster to do something like that.

@9Christina9 You said: “I just memorized the notes and played (them).” And: “I just memorize very quickly and read very Very slowly.” Now this I think is wonderfull, because that’s what I have been trying to do for some time now with little succes. Can you pls say something about how you memorize the notes? Do you think that it is a skill you can share with others?

Thank you very much! This is so useful!

@OTAHearn then just pick a couple of pieces, post them and I will respond.
Or don’t you do videos?
If you do this I will respond immediately.
If I have to do the whole thing it will take longer, months, even.

@atree3 Its just any piece in general. I can sight read a melodic line easy enough but when I try throwing my left hand in (even at the simplest level, say one chord per bar) I completely fluff it up haha
Create a video blog
@OTAHearn
Yes, of course I do. I would be happy to make a video answering your question. Could you make a video asking this question. You could just be speaking while the visual was a picture of the piece or pieces in question.
Then I could make a video reply.

Have you got any tips on reading the 2 staves, bass and treble at once. How can your eyes concentrate on 2 things at once?

NEED HELP -? PLEASE READ: There is an awesome version of Unchained Melody from a YouTuber named Zoompacalypse”. It was uploaded on 01/17/08. It’s 3:40 long and has a background from the London Symphony. The video is titled: Unchained Meloldy: Classical Piano Instrumental With Orchestra. If anyone knows if there is sheet music for this piece, please let me know.

She says everything in such manner that it seems scandalous, even though what she’s saying is perfectly innocent! xD
Thanks!!!

Well of course, as soon as the reading is easy you have to move up to something which is a little more challenging. Always moving up.

If Margaret is dismissing decoding absolutely (which may or may not be her stance), that’s pedagogically problematic. You can’t grow as a reader if you only read what you already know how to read easily. Staying within the zone of proximal development is important, but categorical anti-decoding is an insufficient foundation for dogma. Adhering to it is great for a student’s ego, though.

Thank you so much for these advice. I must admit I had a few smiles as what you say is so true..
As a relative beginner at playing the piano, I must say that what impresses me the most in music is someone who can play a song for the first time and have it sound much better than me who would have practiced it for 6 months!
Someone who can sight read must have a very happy life as I find it so wonderful to be able to play so many songs..
So I’ll stop wishing and start practicing
Thank U

No matter how little a beginner knows, they should be playing real music by real composers. Most composers wrote some music for beginners or children. Then the student can have a little self respect. Also, teaching by rote means they can play something nice sooner. This is not the time to worry too much about reading, which is a different process completely than playing the piano.

@bigbossdeleon Ideally , you should WANT to practice. Practice should not be done by the clock, except maybe to keep a record of how much you practiced. I ought to make a video about practice.
music reading tips
@atree3 lastly, how much time should I spend on practicing?
