Sight reading
Nov. 14th, 2008 11:16 amWow. After less than a week of practicing playing my keyboard, I've already reached the point where I can play simple songs by sight alone. A simple song is one where one hand is playing a single note at a time. I am improving my speed on figuring out what notes to push on more complex songs, where I play more than a single note at a time. And of course, I still have the theme song to Star Trek: The Next Generation memorized, and that's a decently complex song. Both hands playing multiple notes simultaneously.
My rhythm is still completely and utterly foobar right now. I push the notes in the right order, but fuck all if they come out in anything even beginning to approximate the right rhythm.
Luckily,
theragtagpoet has offered to give me lessons to educate me on the ways of playing the piano.
