Description

Stop hunting for notes at the piano. Sight reading is the most practical skill singers can develop—and it's completely learnable with the right approach.

We break down what sight reading actually is, why it matters for church musicians, auditioners, and choir singers alike, and compare the main learning systems: neutral syllables, scale numbers, and solfege. Plus the exact resource and difficulty level to start with today.

Sight reading saves time, builds confidence, and makes you a more independent musician. Five to ten minutes of daily practice at the right difficulty level compounds over time. Start with the VoSci Sight Reading Generator at Beginner - L1 and track your progress.
