Question 1170

This is the 1170 post on this blog.

I have no idea how to improve my sense of rhythms when it comes to playing sight-reading pieces. If the work is in common time, I could still manage with the rhythms. However, if the work is in time signatures such as 5/8, 6/8 or 9/8, I would find myself clueless whether I am playing in the right rhythms.

I wonder if my music theory teacher could help me on that. I shall remind myself to ask him on my upcoming lesson.

How does one train oneself up to be better in sight-reading?

play anything on sight. it helps. i even turn my book upside down when i run out of new scores to read. (or just plain lazy to go find another book.)
