Reading breakthrough 4 me

Recommended Posts

I never found reading easy, always losing my place and generally experiencing it like I was dyslexic. Big progress lately though since I started to concentrate on [i]reading ahead[/i].

I'd heard it mentioned a hundred times, but really didn't understand that you can practice that very thing and get better at it. Suddenly i'm making huge progress.

Just thought i'd report in case it helps anybody else whose struggling. :)

Another usefull thing is to read through first, and decide where to play it position wise. Look see what key you're in, and check for awkward bits, maybe highlite them.
Losing your place suggests that you have to keep looking away from the chart ? The above should help with that, if you can decide the best place to start playing.

Reading through is certainly good advice. i'm inclined to charge in. :)

The losing the place bit isn't cos of looking away; I think it's from trying to compute too many things at the same time. Reading a few notes ahead seems to cure everything. Amazing really, as I didn't think it could be learned just by trying.

Here's some pages for reading practice... if you're interested.
