ABRSM SightRead4Piano trains the brain and the eye to play new piano music effectively.

Whether you are preparing for your next exam, or exploring a wider repertoire for personal enjoyment, this is a fun and reliable method to develop your sight reading skills and ultimately performance. Because there is no “going back,” stumbles are eliminated and fluency quickly develops.

Developed as a partnership with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM), United Kingdom, the App includes over 300 pieces of music for beginners up to professional student level.

Key Features includes:
•Buy the complete collection, or just the grade levels you need.
•Browse by grade, time signature and key signature.
•Preview mode simulates real-world exam conditions.
•Adjust the playing speed from 40-120 bpm.
•Keep time with audible metronome, visual metronome or both.
•Facilities for people with Dyslexia and Hearing Impairment.

Produced by Wessar International Ltd., SightRead4Piano is the brainchild of Christopher Wiltshire, whose widespread experience as a piano teacher, accompanist and repetiteur meant that efficient sight reading necessarily became a cornerstone of his career.

Spending four successful years at the Royal Academy of Music in London, Christopher was twice winner of the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Composers Award. He gained a B.Mus. at Durham University which was followed by a Masters Degree in Composition (Sheffield) and a Doctorate at London University. The RAM awarded him an Honorary Diploma for “Services to Music”.
