sight reading

im working on being able to sight read real book charts. i can pretty much figure any of them out in a few min. any tips to for practicing it?

Make charts and put them in your shower or wherever else you might spend time. Like next to the toilet. Thats what i do.

You could first learn the groups of lines and spaces of bass and treble.

While practising, depart them to two parts, practice only rhyhm and other time practice fingering and correct notes...

I think practising this fit same thing than scales and other stuff, start slow and stuff like dat... gl m8

Treble cleff spaces are face. While the lines are egbdf.

You can remember egbdf as "Every good boy deserves fudge". If you totally have gotten the staff familiarity down, I recommend becoming more familiar with the fret board. Also, http://www.musictheory.net/ is a pretty good website that will help you understand sight reading better.

thanks those exercises really help!

Wow, I just realized I'm really rusty on Base clef. People were not kidding when they said reading notation is nothing like riding a bike. Got to practice me some grad staff I guess.

Bass cleff spaces = all children eat glass

or "Alligators Cant Eat Gum Balls"

@BBT...I dont understand where that 5th space comes from.

the space above the line

if thats too confusing, just Alligators Cant Eat Gum works

@BBT...When i look at standard notation i see five lines & four spaces between those lines.

Add a ledger line on top. SHAZAM! brand new space.

You dont add a line unless you use it. So on the treble cleff the g above the top line f will not have a line. But the a above that will. The line doesn't exist untill you use it. Or use something above it. Then all those lines will come into existance. It's not that complicated.
