Reading ahead
One more look at what you missed.
Good readers look one note ahead.
While you name one note, your eyes are already on the next. Music does not stop and wait.
In music, notes come one after another.
Hear three in a row: G, B, A.
No sound? Check your volume, and that your phone is not on silent.
The next notes wait, faded, to the right.
Name the dark note. Glance at the faded ones, so they are familiar when their turn comes.
After this G, the next note is on the middle line. Which?
Play G, B, A, saying each name just before you play it.
Your voice runs a little ahead of your hand. That is reading ahead.
Name the dark note, then let your eyes move right to the faded ones.
Melodies usually move to a nearby note.
So the next note is often one line or space away. Knowing that makes looking ahead easier.
You read A. The next note is one step up. Which?
You can read one note ahead.
