Each piece is preceded by a series of games designed to improve your ability to spot the features, patterns and characteristics of the music before you play it. Test yourself and see if you can achieve a three-star score in these fun games: Rhythm Match - hear rhythms from the piece of Sight-Reading and identify the corresponding notation. Pitch Patterns - focus on a small section of the music and answer questions about pitches, patterns and fingering. Quick Fire Five and What’s the Difference - study the whole piece and answer a series of questions about it. Learn how to make the 30 seconds of preparation time you have in your exam really count! Complete the challenges to unlock the pieces and start a practice streak. Strong sight-reading skills empower musicians to communicate with one another through the language of music, as well as to learn new pieces quickly and accurately. Regular practice with ABRSM Violin Sight-Reading Trainer will help you avoid the pitfalls and achieve sight-reading success! Hey, phone users! Music notation is complex and phone screens are small.
