 Sight reading timing - hints on how to do it
Author: SunnyDaze

Hi,

I'm learning how to sight read timing at the moment by playing through "learn as you play clarinet" by Peter Wastell.

The book recommends that I think of words like "doc-tor" when I read paired quavers and "Ten-ta-tive" when I play triplet quavers.

I have tried it and it is working brilliantly for me. I'm delighted, because I really never knew how to sight-read timing before.

I'm an adult learner (aged 46) and in the past I always learned how the timing of a piece went by listening to a recording before playing it.

I just wondered if I could ask what other words you all use when you read specific combinations of note lengths, as this is an area where I have noticed that the books are really short on guidance.

Alternatively if you know of books that teach this well and in more depth, I'd be really glad to know which ones.

I think that all the less experience people coming to the forum would be so grateful to know more about this, and I know I would.

Thanks!

Jennifer
