How to improve your sightreading

Some people have a difficulty in sightreading. Actually, sightreading is not difficult as you think. I have some tips to improve your sightreading. Firstly, look at the piece overall. It means look the tempo, time signature, dynamics, structure, rhythm, etc. Secondly, read the interval of notes. For example C-E is minor third, C-F is perfect fourth, etc. Try to play the music first in your head before you play it. If you cannot play it fast, play it slowly, but try not to make any mistakes. More time you practice, your skill will growing up. Good luck!

Beethoven and his music

I think it is important for us to know musician’s personality and his life before we play his work. According the book I have read (I forgot the title of the book, because I read it at the book store), Beethoven was a romantic type in the enneagram of personality (read my post before). He was a creative and individualism. His emotion changes suddenly and this is reflected in his music. In his music the dynamic and the tempo often changes suddenly. I think there is a relationship between personality and music.
