Can you still improve your sight reading skills at the age of 21?

I'm just like you, the teacher never told me that sight-reading is very important, and I completely rely on myself to figure it out.

Just like typing on a computer, I also bought sight-reading textbooks, followed them for a long time, and usually took them.

The most important thing is not to look at your hands, to memorize and feel the finger distance of the keyboard, to sing as you play, to memorize and memorize a few iconic notes, such as the position of each C note on the score, and you will be able to find other notes.

Yes, I have improved a lot after about 3 months of practice.

To give you an analogy, sight-reading is like chopping vegetables, it is a skilled job, you always don't cut vegetables, and the cutting is slow, uneven, and not good. You cut vegetables every day, and after two months, you can cut them very well. I am also a college student major, before the major examination, I practiced every day for most of the year, read the score every day, and the sight-reading ability at that time was very strong, as long as the notes were not too dense, I could play it over and over again.

Later, when I went to college, it wasn't so tight, and I didn't practice much new tunes, so my sight-reading ability was not good. I obviously felt that the sight-reading at that time was much worse than before, and then I was about to graduate, and I had to practice the piano and practice new tunes every day in the face of all kinds of things. It's back to the state before the professional test, and the sight-reading is almost the same as before

Personally, I feel that this thing will take time, and if you can stick to it, you have to practice something new every day, and you can get better. I've never used any sight-reading textbooks

If you're talking about sight-reading abilities for piano pieces, it is recommended that you pay attention to the following steps during your practice or practice:

1. Train yourself to analyze how the musical phrases of the work are reflected. Because piano works (that is, ** works) are generally embodied through ** language, if you can analyze as soon as possible how many musical phrases there are in the ** language of a work, what kind of transition sentences or modifiers, and how they are stated, you will be able to master how the composer states, it takes a while for self-training in this aspect, but if you make unremitting efforts for a period of time, you will definitely receive the expected effect. This includes an understanding of the basic morphology of phonology, rhythm, and syntax.

Remember, no matter how difficult a piano work is created by a Western composer or a modern Chinese composer, there is still a certain pattern to the presentation of language.

2. Practice and practice. It is well said that being able to read each other's language requires constant communication, and the same is true for the cultivation of sight-reading skills related to piano works. First, there is the truth that "practice makes perfect" here, and at the same time, there is the continuous accumulation of experience.

Taking a piano piece and playing it immediately after touching the piano must be the result of long-term practical experience. The reason why many students who have advanced to undergraduate piano majors from the high school attached to ** college has strong sight-reading ability is that they have participated in a lot of performance practices and formed a reflection of subconscious vision and basic skills (of course, some students seem to be slightly worse), then, do not appear very impatient at the beginning, but step by step, and it will be different if you persist for a period of time, which is completely certain.

3. Listen to more ** works, or intentionally remember some ** works. The reason why the black jazz artists in New Orleans in the United States can have strong sight-reading ability (or improvisation ability) is that they are very worthy of our attention, that is, they usually pay attention to the accumulation of a large number of ** works, including songs, all kinds of music, all kinds of dance music, etc.

4. Remember, it is necessary to put in a period of effort to cultivate your piano sight-reading ability, and there is nothing to be tricked in here, but this is not to say that it will take a long time, but only for a while. Another thing that should tell you is that training your sight-reading ability on the piano can be completed or improved by your own efforts.

Good luck with this!

Take a look at the staves!

Bass clef. Alto clef. G clef. These are all important!

Practice these tunes more and you'll be able to do it!

A few people upstairs are right, the main thing is to practice more, non-professional, just if you want to improve your sight-reading ability, you can play them one by one, and you don't need to play them very well. It doesn't take long for you to find that your sight-reading ability has gone up a big bit, which is amazing.

I Jiang a personal experience:

In high school, playing the piano became my leisure time, and I was at the level 6, and I came home from school every day to play the piano for about half an hour. I bought a couple of very thick books of pop songs. Choose one or two songs a day, play them, and generally sing them.

But I didn't expect that a year later, I would be able to increase my sight-reading skills while having fun, which is also a bonus. Later, I started playing simple pieces like Mozart's sonatas, and now I can play more difficult pieces with practice.

Every day, I read unfamiliar scores, imagining that if I sang the wrong song, the teacher would scold.

Take a sheet music that is not too difficult, turn it over and play it one by one, how good is it without practice, play one song or twice.

Keep looking at new scores, and the speed will slowly go up.

One more thing to add. After playing a few songs, you can come back to play. Over and over again, try not to make any mistakes.

Sight-reading....Sweep your eyes quickly. At least a few bars ahead of the hand. I feel that if I am more proficient in all types of songs, the process of understanding the new score is very fast, and it can be said that there is no problem in playing it.

But the main difficulty in sight-reading is expressiveness, and technology is not everything. It's hard to express the tunes you encounter well for the first time. In addition, if you know something about the tune while playing, you can improvise and remedy some technical mistakes later.

Special remember the position of several notes, such as alto la, treble do, treble la.

This way, you can look at the score again and see which note is closest to it, and start counting from which side.

It can save a lot of time.

This way the sight-reading is fast.

Remember that what makes perfect, not only the notes, but also the emotional symbols, the speed symbols, and all the marks on the score. Practice more. Absolutely.

It may be difficult at first to play accompaniment to other instruments, but after a long time, the ability will improve.

Keep practicing, play more early online.

Piano sight-reading ability is composed of piano playing skills, theoretical knowledge, auditory ability, reflection ability and other factors. Practice in piano teaching.

There are no shortcuts, practice makes perfect, and if you usually play new songs, your sight-reading ability will naturally improve.

The treble clef marks e, and e is on the first line. The bass clef marks a, a on the fifth line.

As the book says, as long as you follow this, you can find other sounds.

I learned all these music theories when I was a kid and I've almost forgotten them now, but I have to admit that children remember much faster than adults.

Not really!

Sight-reading ability is only one aspect of instrumental performance, and the level is determined by many aspects, such as instrumental performance techniques, expressiveness, mastery of relevant culture, understanding of music, and so on.

Therefore, strong sight-reading ability can only indicate a high level of sight-reading, and by no means a high level of performance.

If you have any questions, you can ask me again!

Not necessarily, it only means that the comprehensive ability to read music, play and respond is strong, and it does not represent the level of piano quality.

As a person who has come to the specialty examination.。。。 Let me tell you about my experience

Actually, you don't need to find a special audition score, there's no need. You find a fifth, sixth, and you haven't played a tune, and groping and groping is a kind of audition. There are two main reasons why the audition is not good:

1 Didn't master the consolidation scale. Every time I practice, I will go through all the scales of all the keys, and I will insist on learning the piano from the first grade, and I will be familiar with every tune, every note, and every grasp in order to ensure that the brain thinks of which note will act immediately. 2. Unfamiliar with special rhythmic patterns.

There are some complex syncopations, triplets, triplets, triplets, and triplets, and the beats of four, three, eight, six, eight, and seven are not touched enough, so I take care of the pitch and rhythm, of course, the audition can't be reached. As I said, just find a song that is not too high (preferably a loose board) and try it.

In fact, the score of the audition is not so big, and the teacher is just to see if you can give a score and you can play it for a while, which is just to test your band ability. Even if it doesn't pull well, it won't have much impact on the grades.

Scales in each key must be practiced every day. Keep in mind what the sound of each position is. You can buy a book of etudes as a sight-reading exercise.

As for the rhythm, the rhythm should not be too difficult if the test is long. To develop a sense of rhythm, you can sing more tunes with the beat, and count the quarters of the beat first. When you master the scales, you can count the beats.

That's pretty much the basics.

When you are sight-reading in the exam, there should be about a minute or so for you to preview the score, and it is also important to read the score. So be careful when you practice regularly! The first step is to look at the rhythm, tempo and key required by the sight-reading.

The second part takes a general look at the whole score, and the third step takes a closer look at what you think is difficult. That's about the same time for 1 minute.

Don't be nervous when you start sight-reading, because you can trust yourself to be fine. To read the score, don't just stare at the sound, be sure to make your eyes faster than your hands. Sight-reading will definitely be fine like this!!

Only prepare one song for the college entrance examination.

If you're majoring in 2 hu, you should prepare a song in the key of D or G or a few more etudes.

It can't be refined in a short period of time.

Don't be nervous about the college entrance examination, just prepare what you are most familiar with.

Don't think too much and let the teacher help you more.

Listen to the music on the piano.

Sing more simple scores.

30 minutes of black key mastery. Don't believe it. It can only be said that he can play the sound.

But it's not like you can play that tune well. You play arpeggios a lot. It will help you with your sense of location.

What's also a seventh chord, those things are played a lot, and it's very helpful for your keyboard positional sense. Then it's just a matter of playing more tunes that haven't been played before. You can improve your sight-reading by practicing slowly.

Sight-reading is actually sometimes related to talent.

It is unlikely that you will practice the black keys in 30 minutes, but if you play more in sight-reading, you will improve, which is an experience.

Practice more and play more. Down to earth.
