Like that, and that is how you will read it. That is the other part. Try and look at the notes and then feel where they are in the piano, so that you should not have to look at the piano unless it is any more of a jump than over an octave.
If you have a piece like (Demonstration)—I just made that up, it does not sound very good. You would not have looked at the piano for any of that. You would only look if you are jumping from here to here (Demonstration) because you are not sure how far it is.
Look, feel—look at the notes, feel them on the piano, and the only one you are going to find is the first note. You might wonder, “How am I supposed to play the left hand with the right hand note?” This is the tricky part.
Normally, when you start site reading, you are only going to site-read one line and one hand at a time. Now, that is a little bit trickier, site reading. With this, what you are going to—the key to site reading is to go slow like a snail, very slow. (Demonstration) I should be counting there. (Demonstration)
I mess up there. I am the teacher and I just went straight up high, I did not even think what I was doing. I cannot, I do not have the ability to play with two hands and site reading right now because I have to hold one with my camera. I am using one to hold the camera.
If you are playing with two hands, you will go even slower. Start with your D and you will find the same not here, and then you will try to look at these and line them up. You will find one hand that is going to keep the beat. If you look here, this is a very beat to keep. (Demonstration) So, what I would do is I use the left as the thing to keep me steady.
I will start here on the G. (Demonstration) You will keep this steady and then you will try to think of it in line. Start on the D and down together. This is where counting really helps. (Demonstration)
Once you have gotten all these things, absorb it in your head when you start. Go through with your checklist, look at the last note, at your end, and look at your first note. If there are any parts in between when you do your check over the music, if there are parts that look hard, take a closer look. Try to figure out how that sound, and look how it feels with your fingers.
