The ability to read at sight is an essential skill for piano pupils to attain: it avoids slow and tedious note-learning, and it enables quicker assimilation of musical pieces, leading to enjoyment and a sense of achievement in both solo and ensemble playing.

In Sight Reading for Young Pianists the music to be played is analysed in a child-friendly, age-appropriate way, using lighthearted, humorous illustrations, and activities for the child to carry out. The unique pull-out card, Secrets of a Champion Sight Reader, comprises an indispensable companion guide to aid children in tackling every new piece of music that they encounter.
