Can someone sight read a Scriabin Sonata ? I met a friend who told me he was a good sight reader. I put Scriabin 4th sonata, first moviment ( which is very slow ), but he couldn´t play correctly, too many mistakes, even reading 5 times... I wish I could get sight reading on a level I could play Bach Well-Tempered Klavier, or Chopin´s preludes, or even Scriabin preludes. Can you do that ? Reading children´s songs have no interest on me. I wish I could read Mozart, to enjoy REAL music. Advice ?

@Dihelson Can you read pieces in the Bach Anna Magdalena Notebook?

Can you read the 2 part inventions?

You need to find your level, and then raise it, little by little.

if you can play it then it makes no difference. i can play Chopin preludes that i could never sight read, the difficult ones. i can play them from memory and i dont need the music after ive learned them

@anonymousQ45 That's great.

This is mainly for people who want the pleasure of reading unfamiliar music, like reading a book.

I 'm a pianist, in an advanced level but unfortunately i couldn't develop my sight reading , this made me a bit depressed, i'm 42 years old, is it too late to be a good sight reader? how long should i practice reading every day?

@bronzeantique It is never too late to learn something new.

No limit on time. Hopefully it will give you pleasure and not be a chore. If it is a lot of work you may be reading something too challenging.

Thank you for posting this video!

I've always been a bit apprehensive about reading music, but now I am at a point where I need to build up repertoire on my instrument and I can no longer let my anxiety hold me back. I've found that by breaking the piece down measure by measure instead of taking it in all at once, tunes I were previously afraid to approach became much easier to manage and coordinate with my fingers.

I'm going to learn this already

I'm amazed at his teaching lady. Mrs. can not imagine how much I learned from this video of yours. Simply amazing! Thank you!

I studied saxophone in Brazil. And the sight-reading is the next step for me. Especially in more complicated scores with faster notes in Allegro or Presto.
