PRE-READING SKILL SET

13 Core Skills for Pre-Readers

We all know that note reading skills are vital to becoming a confident, well-rounded pianist. By establishing strong pre-reading skills, we properly prepare students to absorb reading notes on the grand staff when they are ready.

Imagine learning a foreign language while still mastering basic reading and writing skills in your native language? That would make things quite difficult! You might feel a big overwhelmed. Focusing on pre-reading skills in the beginning will actually save time and frustration in the future for our young musicians. This is time well spent.
