Adding sight reading to your practice routine can really help improve your skills. Here’s what I’ve found useful:
Set Aside Time: Spend about 10-15 minutes at the beginning of each practice session just for sight reading. This makes it a regular part of your practice.
Use Different Materials: Try out a mix of different types of music—like classical, jazz, or modern tunes. This keeps things interesting and fun!
Focus on Rhythm: Always clap the rhythms before you start playing. This makes it easier to understand what you're about to play.
Celebrate Progress: Keep track of how you're improving, even in small ways. Celebrate the songs you can play more easily now!
Stay Relaxed: If you mess up, don’t worry! Just keep going. Making mistakes is part of learning.
