Sight reading challenge
During the strange time of 2020 when the world was in lockdown, some of my family and friends started requesting the odd song over a video call. Fast forward a couple of weeks, and my social media 'sight reading challenge' was in full swing.
Sight reading has always been my favourite occupation at the piano, but this challenge was a great opportunity to face the fear of sharing sight reading publicly. A lot of musicians and students are intimidated to share their music with others for the fear of making a mistake. Taking a sight reading request everyday and filming the attempt was a great way to share my music not only with my students, but with people who hadn't heard me play in years.
I am now more motivated than ever to try and share my passion for sight reading with students, and to show that sight reading doesn't have to be that scary!
Flexible lessons to suit you.
Video lessons are now available!
If you are more comfortable learning in your home, or are not local to Carharrack, I am happy to teach online via a call platform that suits you.
