[musictlk] sight-reading

[Aubrie Lucas]

I've found that sight-singing works well. I've used this for All-State
auditions. It works like this:
You are given a couple minutes to just read through the music. After this,
you can hum it or something. Lastly, you study it for a few more seconds and
then play it to the best of your ability.
When I'm not sight-reading for an audition, I simply whistle or hum
(quietly) the music to myself. It really helps with memorization!
Hope this helps.
Aubrie

Hello listers:
I'm here again with yet another question. Is it possible for a 
blind musician to sight-read music? If so, how is it done? Is it 
possible to use Braille music for sight-reading or what are other 
techniques or ways to work around the sight-reading? Or yet more 
applicable, hand-reading, since we don't use sight to read? What 
is one, if any, equivalence that exists for blind people to 
sight-read? I will be willing to discuss this issue more with 
this list. Any thoughts, comments, concerns, questions, 
resources, or ideas on this matter?
