Do you believe that some people can sight-read and others just can’t?

In How to sight-read, Paul Harris dispels this and other common misconceptions about sight-reading, presenting instead the idea of sight-reading as a technique that can be developed and learned by anyone. He breaks down the fascinating science behind sight-reading as well as providing practical advice and exercises that can be incorporated into both lessons and practice.

The engaging activities in the book are supported by a unique accompanying web app enabling readers to improve key areas of sight-reading technique including rhythm, pattern recognition, and brain processing speed.

Written to help students, parents and teachers alike, How to sight-read challenges existing perspectives on sight-reading and presents an innovative new approach to teaching and learning this vital musical skill.

‘This book has elevated sight-reading practice to the next level, using a fresh, fun approach that blends solid vision, science principles, and 21st-century technology.’
Debra Grant BSc (Hons) MCOptom

‘Paul Harris has offered the concept that sight-reading is simply a technique that can be easily learnt by us all... This is a mustread for music students and teachers.’
John Hutchins, Director Junior Academy and LRAM, Royal Academy of Music

“Harris has the wonderful skill of being able to distill complex information and present it with simple (but not simplistic) clarity, making accessible a deeper understanding of the topics he addresses. This book provides another excellent example of this, the author’s several decades of research and experience in the field of sight-reading brought to life with assured confidence and genuine insight.” Andrew Eales, Pianodao.com

"...packed full of sensible down-to-earth advice, underpinned with experience of teaching at grass roots level. As ever, Paul’s books are inherently accessible and readable for teachers at all stages, and for even the most experienced, there’s still plenty to enjoy and learn from this book and the others in the series."

I spent an hour today trying out pianos at Millers in Cambridge. Catherine could not have been more helpful, informative and patient. Thank you for helping me to find the perfect piano!

1/11/24 - new piano delivered today. Wasn't straightforward as there was no clear access by the front door. Had to manoeuvre the pianos thru the back garden! Excellent delivery team!

Millers Music in Cambridge have been most helpful in my quest for a Yamaha Clavinova digital piano, during the past couple of months. Mark Harrison, in particular, has attended to all my questions and answered promptly with good advice.

We visited the store on Saturday afternoon. Mark the store manager was very enthusiastic to play a few pianos to show me and my son the difference for comparison. We ordered one and it arrived within 3 working days. Super efficient! It was a pleasure to shop in the store.
