Scrolling KlavarScore Sheet Music for easy sight-reading from a cell phone or tablet using Mobile Sheets App.

Learning to sight read piano music has never been easier or more fun! With KlavarScore, sight reading is the easy part of learning to play new music and there is no more need to memorize and worry about forgetting what you have learned to play since it is so easy to sight read and play the sheet music no matter what key it is in. This musical notation system has stood the test of time (almost 90 years) and has become widely popular in Netherlands and has a growing popularity in other countries as well.

Visit klavarscore.org where KlavarScores for music in Public Domain are regularly being added for FREE downloading and printing, or for using with a sheetmusic viewer app on your cell phone or tablet. The MobileSheets app from the Android Play Store is demonstrated in this video. It is very customizable and highly recommended for Android users (see recommended setup instructions at www.klavarscore.org). At klavarscore.org, you will find files ending L.pdf (like the one in this video) which are long and narrow pages for use with a sheet music reader app like MobileSheets. You will also find files ending T.pdf which are for tablet viewing and S.pdf files which are standard sheets for printing. There is also free learning material for beginners.

Suggestions for practice:

1. Use the MobileSheets app for android (or a comparable one for apple). See www.klavarscore.org for set up instructions. It is very customizable and highly recommended for Android users (see recommended setup instructions at www.klavarscore.org). At klavarscore.org, you will find files ending L.pdf (like the one in this video) which are long and narrow pages for use with a sheet music reader app like MobileSheets.

2. Try to play the notes as they reach the center of the screen, preparing for them as you see them approaching the mark.

3. For easiest reading, set phone vertically on piano music stand and maximize the video display size.

4. If you make a mistake or feel you can't keep up, restart the video and play at slower scroll speed until you can play the piece comfortablely from beginning to end.

5. Increase scroll speed only when you can play without mistakes. Too many mistakes may mean you need to practice more at a slower speed.

6. It is often advised that beginners learn to play one hand at a time before combining left and right hand parts, but the ability to play both hands combined at first sight at a slow tempo usually comes rapidly.
