Stress-Free Sight-Reading: Strategies to Teach and Nurture Sight-Reading Confidence From Day 1
Saturday, January 30, 2021
4:00 PM - 4:45 PM
Description
Many instrumental music teachers and students view sight-reading as the 5 or so minutes that occur after performing on stage at festival. The reality is good sight-reading habits can and should be built from day one of instruction--why wait until the weeks before festival? This clinic will outline how to scaffold instruction so that, by the time your students perform in their first festival, they (and you) will have a stress-free, musical, fun experience.
