Trinity College London Sight Reading Piano: Grades 6-8
£17.10
This progressive method provides a carefully paced approach to the sight reading requirements of Trinity grade exams at Grades 6 to 8. For each grade there are ten lessons, each with a clear area of focus. Stage-appropriate sight reading tips, both general and specific to the instrument, are given along the way.
Each lesson presents four or five preparatory exercises leading to a duet, included to encourage the development of ensemble sight reading skills. While duets are not required for grade exams, they are vital in building confidence and rhythmic fluency. Each duet builds on the same musical ideas as the preceding exercises, consolidating the learning and assisting the student through familiarity.
Official Trinity specimen sight reading tests from Trinity’s Sound at Sight Piano (original series) conclude each grade section. By the time the student has completed the ten lessons they should be well prepared to cope with the demands of these tests. Further specimen tests are available separately in Sound at Sight Piano (2nd series).

A great investment for anyone taking their piano exams. This book covers grades 6-8. Each grade has 10 lessons building up to sample sight reading tests for that grade. My sight reading has improved so much after using this book. By breaking down different elements and focusing on them each week at my piano lesson has really helped me to improve. My teacher thinks this is a great resource too and glad I bought it.
