It is based on the principles of teaching how to read music through thousands of short excerpts from real musical literature. The “ Music for Sight Singing” book is a standard college textbook for ear training courses and musicianship skills classes. This skill is beyond our needs at this point, but down the road I highly recommend you learn how to sight sing to improve your musicianship overall.įor our purposes this book is incredible because of the sheer volume of short, easy-to-read exercises. This skill teaches you how to look at a piece of music and sing it based only on your knowledge of music theory and your aural memory of musical intervals. Sight singing is simply the act of reading sheet music without any instrumental help. Now you may be asking yourself “what is sight singing?” and how could this possibly relate to my piano music reading skills or my guitar playing?

Get a book with a teaching component, especially rhythm since it is the one of the most difficult hurdles you will need to cross in learning to sight read properly.A well-rounded musician can read all musical clefs (even the alto and tenor clefs). Get a book with both treble and bass clef, even if you just need to learn only one clef.Get a book that progresses in difficulty from very easy to more complicated material.There are a couple of criteria that I would recommend you look for in a sight reading book, including: Once you know the notes of the treble and bass clef, I highly recommend you get a great book for sight reading. In the early stages of learning how to read music or how to sight read music the act of identifying notes is the first hurdle to cross. When you are first learning the music notes for piano or any other musical instrument you will want to practice reading lots of easy music to get your note-reading reflexes sharp.
