SIGHT READING PROGRAMME

Teach someone a tune, and they can play that tune.
Teach someone to read music, and they can play any tune.

The Elixir Piping and Drumming “Sight Reading Programme” for Solo Pipers is an eight part series, from complete beginner to advanced, which breaks the art of sight reading into step by step, achievable goals. 

Each progressive level builds a strong foundation of technique, understanding of idiom, builds finger dexterity and fluency, and builds confidence – all without the anchor of having to memorise each piece played.

Creative, unique, designed for both teacher and student: the Elixir Piping and Drumming Sight Reading Programme is the gift that keeps on giving.
