learn to sight-read music

csn sing – but not so hot on sight reading :-(

I really need to sing the keys of each piece, several times, before I play it.

After I stopped lessons and just started improvising and playing by ear and using fakebooks, my sight reading skills went downhill. I want to be able to sight read very quickly and fluently on the piano. Gonna write my reasons here, to keep motivation up. I want to do this so that playing unknown music is more enjoyable and I have a wider variety of music to amuse myself with. I want to do this so that I am more useful to others when people need a pianist. And…hm. Think that’s about it.

It was very scary. That’s all I can say.

This unfortunately is something I have to do if I want to get through music school alive.
