== Sight Reading ==
Sight-reading is a valuable skill with many benefits. Learning to sight-read helps to develop quick recognition of keys, tonality and common rhythm patterns. Strong sight-reading skills make learning new pieces quicker and easier, and also help when making music with others, so that playing in an ensemble becomes more rewarding and enjoyable.

=== About the Test ===

Candidates will be asked to play a short unaccompanied piece of music which they have not seen before. They will be giving half a minute to look through and, if they wish, try out all or any part of the test before they are asked to play it for assessment.
 +
=== Supporting Publications ===
 +
For practice purposes, sample Sight-reading tests are published by [[Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music]] in [[ABRSM Percussion Sight-Reading Grades 6-8]]. Purchasing the book is not a requirement.
