Description

Does the idea of sight-reading fill you with dread?

Fluent sight-reading is an essential skill that allows for quicker learning of new pieces and collaboration with other musicians. The popular series Improve your sight-reading! by esteemed educator Paul Harris aims to address common sight-reading challenges, particularly in the context of graded examinations. This methodical approach helps you develop a comprehensive understanding of each piece, starting with rhythmic and melodic exercises focused on specific technical aspects, followed by the analysis of prepared pieces with related questions, and culminating in independent practice with a carefully graded selection of sight-reading exercises.

The latest edition has been tailored to align with the revised sight-reading standards set by the ABRSM in 2012. Paul Harris is a highly regarded figure in music education, recognized for his innovative Simultaneous Learning methodology. With over 500 publications, including the well-received Improve your teaching!, Improve your scales!, Improve your aural!, and Improve your practice! series, he is a frequent contributor to discussions on music education and is sought after as a workshop and seminar leader globally.
