QUOTE(ChiffChaff @ May 22 2012, 11:45 AM)  Thanks PianoNotes, are those Kodaly words? Lovely Cyrilla has been in touch with me about those, so I'm going to seriously look at them. VH2 makes a very good point, we shouldnt set ourselves up to fail by telling ourselves that we're rubbish. It's good to be reminded to focus on what I can do rather than fret about what I can't (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Yes, those are Kodaly rhythm names. Cyrilla is my teacher. |

I love sightreading. This is how I deal with it. Before I play a piece I first look at the key signature and then read through it and sing it for my self. That way I find the tricky parts and know how it has to sound. Then I play it on my instrument.
