Description

The samples assembled in the Royal Irish Academy of Music Piano Sight-Reading Samples Grades 6 Senior Certificate Piano Book  are designed to give teachers and candidates a more accurate estimation of the difficulty of sight-reading tests that can be expected within each grade.

Students would need to practice far more examples on a day-to-day basis in order to improve their sight-reading ability. Candidates should bear in mind that examiners do not expect a perfect performance at the examination but rather base their assessment on the candidates ability to maintain rhythmic continuity, observance of the key signature and note accuracy.
