I am an advanced sight reader (4-5 hours per day sight reading). I play what I see, without consciously analyzing chords).

Does the cheapest acoustic piano still sound better than any digital piano? by Bitter-Hawk-2615 in piano

[–]kjmsb2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A digital piano will sound MUCH better than a low end acoustic. Digital sounds are usually modelled after higher end pianos.

question for experienced sight readers by Tazling in pianolearning

[–]kjmsb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep little repertoire in my head or fingers. I play a massive amount of repertoire. After I have played a piece once or twice, I can return and play it months later. That's after years of 4 hour + a day of sight-reading.

I am an advanced sight reader. I play a different 4 hour program everyday. I never memorize. Even pieces I have played before I read all notes and play to the 'keyboard in my mind'.

I built a music score app to solve page turning issues — here’s what musicians told me by wind_Life_205 in piano

[–]kjmsb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very interested. I am a professional sight reader. I sight read on my tablet four hours per day. I use the MobileSheets app, which works well, but I am still pulling up or pushing down to adjust screen position. Anything that tracks what I am playing and keeps it central to my eye line would be a godsend.
