Sight reading new music each day is a great way to warm up your brain power; similar to warming-up your fingers and hands by starting with scales and arpeggios. It grabs our focus, keeps us alert and really brings us into the moment.
Pick something new to play that may seem a little easy to start with. Remember, you’ve never seen or played this music before, so you don’t want to get overwhelmed with a lot of new technical things… keep it simple and stick to what you know already.
Try to read/play through at least a page of new music each day. This can be several different short pieces that are just a few bars, or it can be a piece that is the whole page.
