Description
Oxford Piano Time Sightreading Book 1
Piano Time Sightreading Book 1 by Pauline Hall and Fiona Macardle is designed to help early pianists develop one of the most important keyboard skills: reading unfamiliar music confidently. Rather than relying on long exercises, it uses short activities, puzzles and games to introduce sight-reading in a clear and enjoyable way.
A Practical Start to Sight-Reading
The book begins with simple five-finger material, mostly with hands separately, and encourages students to recognise patterns, keep a steady pulse and look ahead while playing. The structured approach makes it easy to use alongside a main piano tutor or lesson book.
Key Features
- Beginner-friendly sight-reading exercises
- Short tunes in five-finger positions
- Puzzles and games to reinforce reading skills
- Introduces practical principles for successful sight-reading
- Written by Pauline Hall and Fiona Macardle
- Published by Oxford University Press
Who Is It For?
Ideal for beginner pianists, young students developing reading confidence, and teachers wanting a dedicated sight-reading resource that can be added easily to regular lessons.
Our Take
A smart companion to an early piano method. The exercises are short enough to practise regularly, which is exactly what helps sight-reading improve over time.
