Instructions for Reading Book
1. What is prepared reading? Prepared Reading is reading music and practicing and "preparing" it until you can play it fluidly, confidently, with attention to all details written in the score. Prepared Reading is different than Sight Reading. Sight Reading is reading a piece of music for the first time. (See Materials & Instructions for which reading books to buy.)
2. I do not teach you the reading pieces in the lesson videos. I have indicated which reading pieces you should be on in the Practice Charts.
3. I have created a video of myself playing each of the pieces to help you. Do NOT use this video to learn the notes. That would defeat the point of learning how to read music, since you would learning from the video instead of reading the notes. Use the video to double-check your work and make sure you didn't miss anything.
4. Make sure you can play the pieces well with attention to all details before you move on to the next video lesson.
5. If you have mastered all the assignments pertaining to the Suzuki pieces, but are behind on Prepared Reading, take an extra week or two to catch up. It is important not to fall behind on music reading.
