To be a natural at sight reading, it takes as much practice as the piano itself! There are, however, some tips and tricks up my sleeve...

Today I go back to basics and explore how we can identify and learn notes. But I also advance this and explore how all notes other names!

I developed a few exercises to help a pupil progress their treble clef sight reading, and rather than waste them, here I am sharing them!

Clef, Key, Time. These are the marks at the beginning of a score that hold all the secrets you need to start playing the music comfortably.

A quick guide to finding chords and understanding them better.

I think one of the most difficult things to explain away is voices, so I was inspired to write this blog post on the subject.
