Mastering The Piano: Teaching Strategies--Sight Reading and the Sight-Reading Checklist--How the Great Readers Do It!

[tonybartone57]

I teach drums and i love that counting out loud and reading tip. My drum students don't like to count and so i would do it. Now i will try playing and let them count. Great tip. Can't wait to try it. Thanks,Tony

Why is this same piece, used in the intro, also used in so many site reading videos? This one, another amateur one, Yoke Wong's DVD.....who else?

[jenofhickory]

Great information...especially pointing out the importance of gaining a solid foundation in one level before moving to the next level of piano method book.

very helpful, thanks for sharing

She suggests slowing down over difficult parts and going back over mistakes. Everyone else I've ever encountered has suggested the opposite: "never slow down, never go back over mistakes." Most teachers are extremely adamant that you shouldn't slow down go back. Any thoughts?

my piano teacher (LRAM) said at the royal academy, in sight reading test, they had to look at a piece of unfamiliar music, THEN (without the music) play as much of it as possible from memory on the keyboard! the teacher here is just touching on that aspect when the clip ends... sort of a pre-playing visual reconnaissance flight over unfamiliar territory. thanks for uploading!

I'm a piano student and I found this quite helpful! Sight-Reading is tough! Or at least was. I watched this video awhile ago and then worked these tips!

[92ABDON]

what was the name of the metod? can you send me the name?

[ily4ever94]

That was too much talking and about nothing!!

[metteholm75]

Oh, pleasepleasepleeeeease! If you have the rest, we want to watch it!

[liyhann]

Where is the rest of this video? It seems to stop on number 2 of the "Sight Reading Checklist." Was there a follow up or is there some place to go to get Ms. Lloyd-Watts checklist?

[lacrememusic]

@liyhann yes, wheres the rest of the video?

[HanQ]

what's the song in the beginning?

[steven1231]

schubert impromptu op. 90 no 4

[crossmyheart1]

Schubert Impromptu Op. 90 #4.

I believe that a combination of relative and absolute note identification is best. In some circumstances, you'll need to identify isolated notes without references of possible intervals, but in many cases, passages have specific intervalic patterns. It's more important to understand notes as degrees of a scale, then the different chords and how they're commonly broken down. Your brain will put everything together, but only if you have the nessecary knowledge.

This woman is great!

[farnoosh787]

does anyone know the name of the piece that is played in the beginning?....

[Sravakayana]

schubert impromtu in a flat, op.90.4

[stevebbuk]

More importantly,who is the exquisite pianist?

[dimmy1985]

i'm not the most experienced teacher in the world, but i gotta say i don't agree with a lot of her opinions

i believe whilst sight reading, it is more important to understand how notes move intervalically than to know what each and every one is. understanding "patterns" i.e for beginners, the intervallic range of the notes you are sight reading - does everything fit within a fifth/octave in each hand?

also, i think a good understanding of form, harmony and transposition is essential.

[ohnapolean]

I agree. Interval practise is essential because it cuts out the middle man in your brain so instead of " thats on the middle line, thats a b, play the b!" your brain automaticly thinks, thats 2 up from the last note, play two up from the last note. When key signitures and leaps come into music though, things get more complicated and thats when note reading is needed.

Very insightful and helping toward the mastery of the piano sight reading. I`ll use it a lot in my lessons for my students.
