An Approach to Reading for the Beginner and Transfer Student
For a preview of what you will get when you purchase access to my full course, I have made this series of videos available free of charge. In the full course, this is the fifth set of videos in my seven-part series of over 30 videos designed to help you improve your teaching skills and retain students longer.
Developing consistent and confident reading skills is one of the most essential elements for student success. When students struggle to read, learning is slow and arduous. I would venture to say that failure to read successfully is likely most common cause for student attrition. When students have strong reading skills, learning the basics of the piece comes quickly, allowing for more emphasis on the musical and creative time in the learning of a piece. These videos cover the following:
- The How and When of Note Reading
- Incorporating Materials to Foster Fluency in Reading
- Introduction of Sight Reading Materials
- A student demo with a student, age 14.
