初見演奏が上手くなる方法: 自信を持って初見演奏しましょう!

The ability to sight-read music is one of the most useful skills that a musician can have, but most students aren't taught what happens when we sight-read or how to practice sight-reading to become better. In this class, we'll talk about what our eyes, ears, and brain do when when we sight-read. Then, we'll talk about three characteristics of good sight-readers and each student will work with me one-on-one to practice each skill before making their own personal sight-reading practice plan tailored to their performance level. In this interactive class, students are encouraged to ask questions, explore how they understand music, and experiment with different ways of seeing the music they're reading. We'll do some actual sight-reading in class and then discuss some new research that uncovers how our brains work while reading music. This class works with students of a variety of different levels because wherever we're at musically, it always helps to be a good sight-reader!
