Group 2
One of the most valued skills in music is having the ability to sightread with ease. That is because it aids in so many things: learning music quickly, being able to play with friends/colleagues on minimal practice time, and most importantly, being able to evaluate a new piece and its possibilities!
Join Leann as she leads a new Two Week Intensive designed to improve your sightreading through focused advice, tips, exercises, and more! Letās start playing NEW music!
- Course Period: October 17th - 28th
- Class Size: max. 4 Groups Ć” 10 Participants
- Optional check-In via Zoom: October 24th at 3pm Pacific time!

Hi Leann! I choose a 3. movement of a Haydn Sonata. Never played before. The most difficult part for me is the change from e-minor to e-major and also the changes of the clefs in the left hand. Scales are also difficult because of the unknown fingering. I have some in the score, what is really helpful. Here my question: you put some fingerings in the score, before you will play it?

Played Haydn today. Left hand was more difficult than I thought. https://youtu.be/92U-s5tTD_Q

@Kerstin Youāre fortunate to have this innate ability. Time helps getting a piece into oneās mind. Iām in group 3. I have struggled with sight reading for several years. Itās about recognizing patterns, amongst other things. As for āstage fever like hell,ā I can relate (off subject here). I sweat, my brain freezes, and I absolutely rely on all the kinds of memory Iāve used to practice the piece.
