I have an actual piano music question. (Sight reading)

less than a minute ago
Looking for suggestions for a good “practice sight reading” book for a non-beginner adult pianist (my son). He had a lot of lessons, his music theory is excellent and he improvises and composes music, but would like to get better at sight reading. I know it is just practice (my skills improved exponentially when I helped both kids with their lessons over the years), so I’m looking for a book with interesting music that doesn’t do any music theory breakdowns. They need to start pretty easy - something like Schumann’s Album for the Young, but with a few more simple/short/fun to play pieces in the beginning. Any suggestions?

The URL is pretty obvious, you have probably already found this.

I only generated a few exercises, but it seems to work ok. The price is right.

@George-K said in I have an actual piano music question. (Sight reading):
Jon went thru Scarlatti sonatas. He found it worth the effort.
I did. I literally sight read all of the Scarlatti sonatas. They number 550+. I forget the official number and beyond that are several that many believe are his, which I did. If there was a theory that it came from him I did it.
I did one a day for a long time.

I recently finished a great book about sight reading. I'd let you borrow it, but I listened to the audiobook version.
