SIGHTREADING

Sight-reading tips, tricks and activities

• Have a staff guide handy when you’re new to reading music.

• Read music fully before trying to play it.

• Having trouble naming a note?

  • Identify a note nearby or anywhere in the staff that you can easily name.

  • Use the musical alphabet, saying it to yourself forwards (up) or backwards (down), to find the note name!
