The Art of Sight-Reading at the Piano

Prima Vista - A Complete Method

von Aria Farjadi

90 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Every graded piano exam tests sight-reading - and for most candidates it is the most feared section. It shouldn't be. Sight-reading is not a talent you are born with or without; it is a perceptual-motor skill, a chain of small sub-skills that can each be isolated, trained and measured. This book shows you exactly how to build it.

Seventeen chapters carry you from the movements of the eye and the inner ear to fingering and live execution. Forty-two FARJADI protocols give every exercise a fixed duration, a purpose and a clear success criterion, and a fully written curriculum turns the rest into a daily habit - fifteen minutes a day is enough. Whether you are working toward Grade 1 or Grade 8, the method builds the calm, accurate, unhurried reading that earns marks under exam pressure.

Follow the curriculum and you will sit the exam able to read music you consider out of reach today.

Written for the exam candidate; the teacher who needs a finished, gradable curriculum to prepare students for ABRSM, Trinity College London and RCM; and the adult pianist who simply wants to read fluently at last.
