Does anyone teach their kids PIANO on their own?

Sight reading - comes with practice. The more pieces one plays the better the reading. Recognising patterns is another way eg being able to spot triads, scales. Must train the child to read ahead so once the child starts the piece, use a piece of paper to cover up a few notes ahead. This makes the child look ahead.

jce, thanks for the tips! I guess it's just practice, practice, practice then! (I hated practicing as a child learning the piano, and now I've got to sit through my DS1's practicing!) will try your cover up method too, though I think he needs to be more proficient at recognizing the notes and patterns first.

Hi,
