 RE: How can I improve my sight reading?

Priorities (IAW an old method book):

Key Signature. Make sure you have this down no sweat. This is where method books come in. Stop thinking in number of sharps or flats and hink in what KEY it's in and know what combination of fingerings works for that key.

Time signature and tempo. (esp. the difference b/w Cut time and common time.) Make sure you're not taking off twice as fast as you're supposed to.

Rhythm. Speaks for itself.

Accidentals. Also speaks for itself.

Articulation and dynamics. If the peice is too good to be true for sightreading, it'll be more impressive (i.e., during an audition) if you put all of the dynamic expression you can in it.
