Click here to jump to our sight-reading printables. On this page, we’re sharing “Pick-A-Path Sight Reading” activities and articles of advice that make sight reading something to enjoy, not fear. And to do this, piano teachers need to present sight reading as a fun challenge not an arduous chore. It’s time to stop the circle of fear that surrounds sight reading. I certainly do! And it is these same feelings that can cause piano teachers to then overlook regular sight reading practice with their own students. You’d be hard pressed to find a piano teacher that doesn’t harbor ill feelings toward their childhood sight reading experiences. It’s human nature to avoid that which is unfamiliar. The reason it gets passed over is that it is unpredictable… and anything unpredictable terrifies piano players. However, unlike note reading and rhythm training (which usually are a regular part of every piano lesson), sight reading can often be ignored or treated as an afterthought. Sight reading is a skill that is as important as note reading and rhythm training.
