I’ve been using Paul Harris’ series of sight reading books and practice this skill every day for 15-20 minutes. I’m on book 4. I watched this video and tried the exercises before seeing you play them. I am happy to say that I have been noticing a gradual improvement. Being a good sight reader is one of my top piano goals.
This is the best video on sight reading ever made.
I didn’t realise rhythm was more important than getting all the notes right! I can be a bit of a perfectionist in that way😂 I'm definitely going to spend more time on it now, thanks Leah
You can do it!
Your videos on sight reading have helped me so much! In about two weeks I’m doing grade 7 I’m severely dyslexic and I find reading music very hard but these videos that you have made have helped me a lot! Thank you 🙏
You’re very welcome, Yasmine, glad to help. Best of luck with your Grade 7 - what pieces are you playing? 😃
Had piano look lessons in the late 60s and the teacher scarred me for life with his as arrogance intolerance and impatience.
I really pizzed him off when I played Moonlight Sonata by ear note for note without any sheet music and in any key requested. 🤣🤣🤣
I love how you deliver your info so quickly and the examples you use. I'm an adult learner and have managed to reach up to about grade 5 level (Yay! Something good came out of our extensive Melbourne Covid lockdowns). Rhythm is my downfall with sight reading so I stick to pieces I know. Nevertheless these tips have helped me so much. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge.
You’re very welcome 😊
You are an amazing teacher. Just saying 😊
Thank you, I’m blushing ☺️
Excellent lesson! Thank you!
Fantastic lesson, thank you very much.
Great lesson!
Thank you that is really helpful 😊
Excellent video! Thank you so much for the information and your clear presentation of it. Take care and I look forward to seeing more. 👌
Thank you Leah!
Yet another great video!
Thank you, this was a really really good information.
A black key pattern giving the notes in the staff's key signature. Alternating between the 3 and 2 black note groups, for the flats, filling from the right of the group: 42_531, whilst for the sharps, filling from the left: 24_135. e.g. for 2 sharps, D, C0_F00.
Amazing. This is good to know. Thank for this video. It amazing the the correct rhythm is more recognizable than the just the correct note but wrong rhythm. 😊👍🏼🙏🏼🎶
Very,very useful!!
Thank you
I am so excited to have recently discovered your videos!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
Welcome!!
God richly bless you Mum
My biggest bugbear! I have slow progress. Thanks
Sooo much more understandable to me at 0.75x. Perfect. Thank you 😊.
Ah yes - my videos should come with a speed warning 🤣
As a very new piano player, I can confidently say that I knew some of these words.
🤣🤣🤣
Really helpful! Any special books to sight read practice? Should you practice at, below or above your level?
Great question - I’d say all 3. Sightread absolutely everything you can get your hands on! If you want material specifically geared towards sight reading, the ABRSM do several series of workbooks and sample exams at each grade which are very good. Good luck! 😊
Torture is right. I got through up to Grade 5 ABRSM piano exams as a kid and the sight-reading bit was the thing that dragged me down, while the ear tests were the thing that threw me the lifeline and helped me pass. I absolutely DREADED going to the exam hall with my miserable oul' teacher. She clearly didn't really enjoy teaching children. I think she only did it to pay the mortgage on her big house. There was no joy in piano learning for me back then. Now, in my adult life, I'm learning music all over again, more from the jazz/pop chordal perspective. Music should be a joyful experience for young people. In my personal experience, the traditional ABRSM scenario turned it into an ordeal. And passing grades didn't make me into a real musician. Big shame. I wish I'd had a teacher like you when I was little; your coaching is great and I'm sure your students' exams are a much more positive experience.
I had one or two awful teachers along the way too! Delighted that you’re reclaiming music for yourself despite the earlier trauma! Best of luck with it 😊
You never disappoint 🙌
Thank you! 😊
You are a great teacher. Thanks. Is there a difference between someone who has a musical ear than one that just want to play piano?
Hi Ed, thanks so much. To answer your question, I think when we talk about someone having a musical ear, it’s probably the case that that person has been involved in music in some form from an early age and therefore has had time to develop an instinctive sense of rhythm and pitch. Involvement in music need only mean that they grew up in an environment where the people around them played and listened to music, sang, and maybe danced more. Compared to someone who grew up without those inputs, they will definitely have an easier time learning to play an instrument themselves. That said, if the interest is there, the learning will happen, even if it has to be more consciously pursued. Hope this answers your question! 😊
How can I apply this formula for the bass or guitar GBD FACE sight reading?
Great question, Walt. I’m not a bass player so I’m afraid I’m not confident about answering your question but if there are any other bassists on here, maybe they could chime in?

Hi, what software do you use for the music notation, it’s really helpful, many thanks.
I wrote it up on Sibelius, then screen recorded the highlighting using Kami to mark it up, and then edited it into my footage as a split screen.
I find your lessons great however the difficulty is where you have spliced the speaking to remove any air. This is not easy to follow.
Thanks Tim - I may have been a bit over zealous in editing out all my ums and ehs! If you go into the settings for the video you have the option of slowing the speed down a little without it affecting the quality of speech too much, it might help. 😊
@@LeCheileMusic will try that. I'm an advanced player and if I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, I think your intermediate people might battle.
I love your approach and your way of thinking.
Sending you a hug.
Bloody heck, you talk fast..!! Good vid though.
A fair observation - If you go into the video settings, you have the option of slowing me down to an intelligible speed 😁
Excellent lesson! Thank you!
