These Sight Reading Books, Let's Get Reading are a complimentary series to the RIAM Exams Books. Sight-Reading is an important skill for any music students who want to improve Piano, Guitar, Drums or any instrument. No matter what Grade you are studying Sight Reading is an important skill to develop and as you move through each Grade your skills will improve.
Becoming a good or even great sight reader will allow you to learn new music much quicker, understanding what is written on the sheet music will allow you the spend more time focusing on the Dynamics, Tempo and feel of a piece.
These Grade books were written by Jean Archibald and Marie Moran specifically for the Royal Irish Academy but they are useful for any pianist who wishes to develop their Sight-Reading skill.
There are a number of different stock products or publications from the Irish Academy to help you with you exams. Lets Get Reading is the sight-reading Series which accompanies each Grade. There are another series of Books called the Music Work Out Series which are Theory workbooks which we keep in stock. The Academy also have a Scales & Arpeggios book which covers from the Elementary, Preliminary & Primary Exams to Grade 5.
If you are unsure what level or Grade you should use you can always talk to your teacher. Most students will use the sight reading book which is the same as their exam grade. This is generally a good rule of thumb but like any developing skill you may find that a Book above or Below your grade might be appropriate.
Please note at present there are is no Elementary Grade sight-reading or Workout Book so you can use the Preliminary Book from the start.
Royal Irish Academy of Music
The Royal Irish Academy of Music is a home of musical excellence and dynamism, a place of teaching and learning which consistently achieves its objective of transmitting and maintaining the highest standards of performance and appreciation in all musical disciplines. Founded in 1848 the Academy is Ireland’s oldest musical institution.
As a national thirty-two county institution, the Academy embodies and reflects the traditions and heritage of Irish musicianship. The Teaching Staff includes many international and national prizewinners, members of the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and many individuals whose names have become synonymous with music education in Ireland
With the resources of such talents at its disposal, it is no wonder that the Academy’s students have been accepted for further study at the most prestigious music institutions around the world from the Juilliard School in New York to the Royal Academy of Music in London. Today, with recently established higher education courses, the Academy is in turn able to offer the finest Irish musical training to students from all corners of the world.
