Repetition is a useful strategy for learning piano, but it cannot be the only tool in a student’s practice belt.
When a student plays a piano piece over… and over… and over, her muscle memory will take kick in, her brain will switch to autopilot, and progress will start to slow.
For this reason, Trevor and I invented Mix and Match Sight Reading Solos to keep piano students on their toes.
By injecting our unique pick-a-path music measures into a traditional song layout, we have created piano pieces that sound different with each repetition.
Because the tune changes each time, students will be constantly engaged with the music!
Today’s Mix And Match Sight Reading Solo reinforces playing with eighth notes and is themed to accompany our latest book release…
Muttzart and Ratmaninoff, In the Hole of the Backyard King.
