Do you want to know the secret to transforming your sight reading overnight? When you sight read are you continually looking at your hands as in this example? It’s something I call vertical tennis. It is the single biggest factor that will hinder your fluency in playing the piano. However I recently came across a product that makes it impossible for you to look down. It is called Eyetrainer. Eye trainer not only Concentrates your eyes onto the sheet music, but Improves your geography of the keyboard, Enhances touch sensation and awareness and Helps improve listening and "musical" hearing.
In order to sight read well, you need to be able to play without looking at your hands, even when they need to jump between different positions as in this Chopin Nocturne.
I tried it out on my students and the results were amazing. To their surprise they were able to play better, when they could NOT see their hands. Take this example, firstly lets watch them play a simple piece when they are allowed to look down. Now let’s try again with eye trainer.
As you can see - the effect is a lot more fluent.
When you start training your eyes to look up, you will not only become a lot more fluent, but your ability to read notes instantly will improve as you start to develop a better sense of piano geography.
So if you want to improve your sight reading dramatically overnight start training your eyes with eyetrainer and you’ll #NeverLookBack - (Pun Intended)
