Violin and viola Sight Reading Practice - 1​

Work through 1-2 of these sight reading exercises every day as part of your practice routine. Always start by looking over the song and counting through the rhythms out loud first. Before you play, ask yourself these questions:

• What is the key? What is my finger pattern for that key?
• What note do I start on?
• What note should I end on?
• Are there any repeated patterns I can see right off the bat?

Complete these 5 steps for each example (the whole process should only take about 5 minutes!):

1. Count the rhythm out loud.
2. Analyze the piece and answer the questions above.
3. Play through it once, without stopping for mistakes.
4. If you missed any notes, say out loud what you need to fix (Was the rhythm right? Did I end up on the right note? Etc.)
5. Try it one more time!

Sight-reading is just like any other skill—the more you do it, the easier it gets! Just do your best to play with confidence and keep a steady beat. It doesn't matter whether or not you play all the right notes the first time through—just by carefully going through all these steps, you're improving your sight-reading chops! :)
