Learn How to Sight Read Music
Learn how to sight read music with this beginners course
If you want to learn how to sight read music then well done for recognising how important this skill is. Being able to read music means you can learn to play music much faster and more independently but it also means you can go for gigs that non-reading musicians can’t go for.
Reading is a great skill for many types of gigs whether it’s recording studio work, theater gigs, playing in a big band, cruise ship orchestra and many more. If you learn how to sight read music then you can be in the frame for these musical opportunities.
But even on a basic learning level, if you can read music then you can download a chart for your favourite song and learn the part note for note incredibly quickly.
How do I learn to sight read music?
Below you can access a course which consists of twenty lessons to take you from total beginner up to a level where you can read complex rhythms. In this beginners course we are focused purely on note values and rhythms so although this website is aimed at drummers, this particular course works just as well for any musician. Understanding how to read rhythms is the first and most important step. Once you can understand the rhythms then you can move to orchestrate around the drum kit or across different notes on your chosen instrument.
Each of the twenty lessons in this sight reading course give you an explanation video to teach the note values and counting methods, PDF sheet music and then an audio file so you can play along with the sight reading example. Each of the twenty lessons gives you two examples so there are forty different sight reading exercises in the whole course.
By the end you will understand how to read and play the most important note values, understand dotted notes and be comfortable in a range of time signatures.
