do i have to sight-read?<br />
by Paul Harris<br />
This is a question many teachers may hear from their students. And for those who can play well from memory or by<br />
ear, why would they need to? The greatest gift we can give our pupils is musical independence, no longer needing a<br />
teacher to show them how it goes. If they can read, the whole wonderful world of music is open for them to explore<br />
and enjoy without restriction. Pianists can learn music to their hearts’ content, play duets, accompany friends and<br />
take part in all manner of ensemble playing with the confidence that their reading skills will allow them complete<br />
and unhindered understanding. And they’ll get high marks in exams!<br />
The Improve your sight-reading! Teacher’s book for piano completes the process of learning to sight-read. If<br />
some lessons, or parts of lessons are given to teaching sight-reading skills (set out comprehensively in the Teacher’s<br />
book) and the pupil then goes home to practise (using the Improve your sight-reading! workbooks), the teacher will<br />
now find plentiful material to use to complete and polish the process.<br />
Sight-reading can be taught. And all pupils can learn to sight-read accurately, fluently and confidently if they are<br />
taught in a systematic manner. The Improve your sight-reading! series, now complete with the addition of this<br />
teacher’s book will, through its methodical approach, allow all to achieve this essential core skill. Because each step<br />
forward is sequential and logical, progress will be continually evident and the whole experience will be fulfilling<br />
and fun!<br />
“[The Teacher’s book] is a great treasury of how to teach sight-reading for whatever reason.<br />
A great book for peri teachers – it’s a one-stop-shop – and a great book for us all.”<br />
Fiona Lau, Music Teacher Magazine<br />
“This book succinctly explains how to address the sight-reading factor, and teachers will no<br />
doubt find it a practical, convenient volume to keep at the side of the piano.”<br />
Melanie Spanswick, The Classical <strong>Piano</strong> and Music Education Blog<br />
