As an instrumentalist, the same is true -- my eye is constantly scanning down the page while I'm playing .... Absolutely right. When pros are sight reading,...
What instrument do you play, Michael? I don't think many pianists would look that far ahead. Bass and guitar. It's a pretty standard trick to learn - I was...
Just stepping into this thread. Is it morphing into "sightreading" as a topic? That's by biggest downfall. Have always been a terrible sight reader (piano)....
But I had to share this - Paul So, three notes walk into a bar -- a G, an Eb, and a C. The bartender looks up and says "We don't serve minors." So the Eb...
There are clearly different techniques in use here! I do a lot of sightreading and am considered good at it. Accompanying a choir, I am often reading and...

... That's a much different technique Kim - and I have no idea how people do it - I can't even read alto clef when I'm looking at a score. If you're looking at...

Hi Paul, It looks like one big difference is that you can actually purchase a FreeHand MusicPad Pro Plus today. The MusicPad family has been shipping for a few...
Thanks Paul, You seem to be saying sightreading is an innate skill, and can't be improved upon. Hope that's not entirely true. I am constantly breaking your...
