Members mr.sosa Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 hello everyone, I'm looking for some free, online music to sight read from. what I use to sight read now are like three different piano method books with the fingerings erased with white-out. do you guys know of any? if anyone's interested, delcamp.net has great material for guitar sight reading. but i'm looking for piano stuff (no big RP pieces, just simple stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lerber3 Posted February 25, 2008 Members Share Posted February 25, 2008 Find somebody who has learned classical piano (or has a kid who plays)... borrow their early music books. This gives you graded material to work from, and you give the books back when you are through... you can only 'sight read' the music once or twice. Is 'whiting out the fingering' so you can't play by numbers? Don't worry... in slightly more advanced music the fingering will not give useful clues about what notes to play.

Members Binkeys Posted February 26, 2008 Members Share Posted February 26, 2008 For classical, check out sheetmusicarchive.net Here's their Bach page. http://www.sheetmusicarchive.net/single_listing.cfm?composer_id=2 You can download two sheets a day.

Members girevik Posted February 26, 2008 Members Share Posted February 26, 2008 I'm currently using Slonimsky's Thesaurus of Scales and Musical Patterns. That book is full of stuff that is a PITA to sight read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
