Sight-reading exercises

Level 2 sight-reading

Six 8-bar pieces for piano, written for a reader at level 2 and never played before. Read each one once, at a steady beat, and keep going whatever happens.

New: A minor and right-hand notes up to G5.

Playing one needs a MIDI keyboard and Chrome, Edge or Firefox on a computer, or Chrome on an Android tablet. Printing needs nothing.
