Right, how do i explain.. well, when i sightread, i can play right hand an left hand perfectly seperate, but then when i try and put them both together it completely messes up, its strange because i cant watch both clefs at the same time its hard to explain. Saxlover told me to always look a step ahead you know so you dont get stuck or something. I cant !!! help me i dont know what to do to improve!
actually its strange i said that because i passed my grade 2 sightreading...amazing

yeah, you passed grade 2 sight reading but not grade 1!!

I keep telling you it comes with practice and playing more music. That's shown hasn't it, I've given you stuff and so has miss since your grade 1 and it payed off

yeah, true thankyou!

Sight-reading for piano is, of course, made harder by two lines, two clefs etc. If you can read each line well on its own, then the problem isn't identifying notes within each clef but using your eyes to scan both equally and looking ahead far enough and quick enough to keep going with some reliability.

This is a skill largely acquired by practising it! Sorry, no other way I know of but, that said, you can try sight-reading just a few bars at a time initially, maybe even only a couple. Sometimes looking at a long piece (even 8 bars can look long sometimes ) can be so daunting.

I'd start trying to read lots of small bits and pieces and then extend the length as you gain in confidence. Try to make sure you maintain as even a pulse throughout as you can and really encourage yourself forward to achieve that. It's so easy to play unrhythmically but an even tempo is, of course, one of the main ingredients of good sight-reading. Check out the key too!

Like much else to do with developing musical skill, there's no substitute for working at it.

You can practise the "hands going together" bit without the notes first - this might help your co-ordination.

Set a very steady pulse (OK - SLOW) and tap the rhythm on your knees or the piano lid. RH taps RH rhythm, LH taps LH rhythm.
Count as you go (aloud? in your head? whisper? try all 3 and see which works for you).
Keep the first beat of each bar in the right place as far as you can, even if the rhythm goes slightly off in-between. Do this more than once at the practice stage if it helps - gradually your first attempt will become more accurate.

Oboist is right, just lots of practice.

Practise loads so that you start to get used to having to look at two clefs at once and playing the notes right. I guess at this stage, its best to get used to the notes first and then put in dynamics and stuff later. Start slowly with the simpler stuff and then when you can play those, move on to more difficults stuff and you should be ok...

is it worth a trip to the library to see if they have some simplified music - nursery rhymes still allowed, traditional tunes? there's a few albums of this level where the worst you get quavers and just one note in each hand together. i mean, not chords or no more than simple ones.

if your library has music (at all), this kind may be in the chidren's section so you may have to ask.

"Knowing the tune" a bit can help when you start sight reading - you know when you got it wrong. same with rhytm.

but dont get caught out! watch the music in case it does some weird variation of what you know!

youre doing ok. if you have to start with hands separate at first youre still sight reading. getting them together is another good exercise. it'll all help. all practice. just a matter of time and patience.
