Relearning after TIA to syncopate rhythm, transpose and remember😊 so going back to basics with your notes has been very helpful in reinforcing note recognition .
Currently learning 2nd part Sekhemet as still find changing keys stop and start .

Unlocking the art of sight-reading

Easy to read and understand, this book finally provides clear guidance on sight-reading. David's final words in this instructive work: "Now...Open a book. Take a beath. Begin. And let the music unfold", say it all.

The advice I was looking for.

I really appreciate this sharing of years of experience and that it lays out the reality that practice - effective practice - over a long period of time is the key. No shirt cuts, but a reasonable path to success.

Very helpful

100 pages giving very valuable advice how to proceed in sightreading.

This offers musicians a book that helps improve their playing techniques. The theory is excellent and has already provided me with new ways to improve my technique.

Really great resource

Sight reading is a real challenge for me as a beginner at piano, particularly with regard to reading ahead. So The Art of Piano Sight Reading was exactly the resource I needed at exactly the right time in my piano journey. Everything I need to understand about sight reading is clearly explained with lots of encouragement to keep going even when it, at first, appears beyond me. Thanks David
