Boost Your Sight-Reading Skills with These Short, Powerful Pieces
May 29, 2025If you’ve been looking for a way to sharpen your sight-reading skills, I’ve got something you’re gonna love.
I just put together a full play-through of The Blue Book by John Schaum—32 short pieces that are perfect for sight-reading practice. These pieces are designed to help you:
- Master common patterns you’ll see again and again in music.
- Build confidence tackling new pieces on the fly.
- Maximize your practice time with short, focused exercises.
Whether you’re a beginner or just looking to level up your sight-reading game, this is a fantastic resource to add to your practice routine.
👉 Watch the full play-through here.
Each piece is short, approachable, and packed with the kinds of patterns that show up in real-world music. Plus, you can skip around to focus on the pieces that challenge you most.
I’ve also included a free resource to help you get even more out of your practice—check it out in the video description!
All the best,
Daniel
