Video #5: Secrets of Sight Reading

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31ag-P4fBvg&list=RDO6AAkGBc0eg&index=5

A great Robert Estrin video on learning to sight read. Some of the points he points out:

1. It's a matter of keeping your eyes on the music.

2. Don't look at your hands or you'll lose where you are.

3. Count like crazy.

4. Just keep going. Don't stop and correct (which is human nature).

5. A good idea: Play with another musician. Stay with them. Add dynamics. Balance. Even if you don't get all the notes right. Listen to yourself and the other person.
