SIGHT READING

The exercises below are provided in .pdf (Acrobat format) for both PC & Mac users. They are intended as a support for teachers using  Keyboard Express,  but I hope they will be useful to any music teacher looking for additional sight-reading exercises. The exercises are arranged in four groups of increasing difficulty.

 [ FIRST STEPS >> EARLY STAGES >> INTERMEDIATE >> ADVANCED ]                         

For a guide to what is included in each section, click on the red links provided above each table.

These groupings correspond to no particular established system - it's just a way to help visitors find their way around.  The terms, 'Single' and 'Grand' refer to the staves offered. Single stave examples could also be used for string and wind instruments or even for singing at sight. Grand Stave is a term often used to describe piano music laid out on two connected staves. Examples marked (LS) are printed in Landscape.
