"Hello my name is Shoshana Cook I'm with Expert Village and today I will be talking about tips on learning and playing classical music. As far as sight reading that fast, you don't really have to worry about it cause by the time you have already done it that many times and slow all the way like the way that we talked about it. Then speed back up, you are going to know that music backwards and forward and being able to play without the music. I personally play it more by ear than by sight reading so my sight reading is a little bit more difficult for me. So I don't sight read as much as I play by ear. So once I got it a few times by ear I pretty much don't look at the music anymore. "
