Sneak Peak inside

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

You know your students should be doing Sight Reading, Aural and Rhythm in every lesson, but you always seem to run out of time.

Let's face it, there's nothing more frustrating than wanting to help your students progress, only to feel like you're constantly struggling to fit everything in, and never actually achieving consistency in ALL the skills. And there's nothing more disheartening than watching your students struggle.

You know that you SHOULD be practising sight reading, aural and rhythm in every lesson. Maybe you've even tried to drill down on one of these skills for a few weeks, a term, a semester.

And yet, it's not quite working.

Problem is, most sight reading resources out there focus ONLY on what you see ie. note reading and sight skills.

So you often need to supplement with other books or resources to help out with aural, rhythm, interval and pattern based reading, without any real methodological connectedness. It can be a clumsy and non coordinated approach, which ends up costing you more money, more time, and more hassle.

Ultimately you end up sacrificing consistency.

And we all know that consistency is the key to making real progress in sight reading.

But what if there was a way to make sure you got it right?

Imagine one resource to help you achieve consistency in just 5 mins a lesson.

So WHAT Is Sensory Sight Reading?

What most sight reading methods fail to acknowledge is the importance of ALL the senses, not just what we see through learning notes and rhythms on the page. 

What we HEAR through the development of our aural skills, what we FEEL through a kinaesthetic awareness of our hands across the keys, and precisely HOW WE SEE by improving our perception of shapes through intervals and pattern recognition, are all essential ingredients to developing effective long term sight reading skills.

Sight

Sound

About The Author

Hi, I’m Geri Green.

I’ve taught piano, theory and composition for almost 20 years and I'm also an experienced composer and orchestrator.

My perspective on sight reading comes from a very different angle than most writers on this topic. I’ve always struggled with sight reading and it’s never been easy for me. I’ve experienced the negative effect of poor sight reading from the perspective of both a learner and a teacher. I truly understand the struggles students have when learning AND I know the real struggles teachers have when trying to give their students the best sight reading education. 

I’ve spent over a decade trying to understand where I went wrong in my learning journey and how to improve my own skills, and in doing, so I’ve worked out what works and what doesn’t.

It’s my ongoing mission to help students avoid the mistakes I made and to help them have a rewarding sight reading experience for life.
