Editor's Note:
On December 10, 2007, author Al Macy decided to become a great (or at least, good) piano sight-reader. Although he was already a gigging jazz pianist, his sight-reading was lousy. As he puts it "It was "really" lousy. Most seven-year-olds with a year of lessons could read music better than I could."So, he vowed to learn everything he could about sight-reading, and sight-read at least two hours per day for one year!That year stretched out to six (that's right, six years of sight-reading), and in that time he learned what works, and what doesn't. He wrote this book to pass on his insights to other adults who want to improve their piano sight-reading. He kept a careful OCD-like record of his progress, with online recordings, so you can hear exactly how he sounded at three months, four months, two years, etc. In the book he relates both his "Aha" and his "Well, that was a waste of time" revelations so you can benefit from his experience. He answers your questions about how to become a better sight-reader. For example: Should you hire a teacher? How long should you practice each day? Will you inevitably improve if you just do a lot of reading? How can you find enough practice music? Which are more important, notes or intervals? Is it OK to look down at your hands? How far ahead should you try to look? Can practicing with your eyes closed help? How can you get better at leaving things out when you are having trouble? What can you do about the fact that the notes on the bass clef are in different places than on the treble clef? How does understanding the harmonic structure of a piece help you play it? Does it help to sight-sing a piece before playing? Should you analyze the tune before starting? If so, what do you look at? Can you teach an old dog new tricks?The answers to some of those questions will definitely surprise you.Macy also presents his very own soon-to-be-patented (not really) method for forcing you to attend to intervals instead of notes. If you find yourself so fixated on the note names that you can't work with the intervals instead, this trick might solve your problem.And with Al's wacky, conversational writing style, you'll enjoy every minute of the book. You can curl up in a comfortable chair and read the whole thing, or sit at the piano to try out the tips and tricks.So, if you want to take your sight-reading to a whole new level, and want tips that will help, or are just curious about what the future will hold for you, buy this book today!
