I can do this very well as it is just like sight reading, but adding chords.īut the exercise says to keep a strict tempo and not to pause to think the next chord and it is most important to think ahead to gain fluency. One of the exercises in the book is harmonizing a melody with any given chords. Then I read that piano players with applied theory can break a piece down to into fewer chunks, which brought me to where I am now. I didn’t have anyone to use the card with so I tried forcing my eyes ahead. Having someone cover up music with a card as you play forces the memory to wake up. I read that you have to wake up the short term memory. Even if my eyes get ahead of tempo, they will linger in that spot until my fingers catch up. My eyes cannot not move far ahead of my fingers. I read somewhere that it was due to short term memory. I can sight read a normal piece pretty well, but only at a slow tempo.
Question: I have a question about sight reading and how it relates to piano theory.
