Good music for piano that is sightread-able for volunteering at a senior home?
Anonymous asked:
Can you suggest some good songs classical/oldies that are pretty and easily sight read-able because every week I volunteer to play piano at a senior home and I don’t feel like practising the songs before. And also if you can include a link to the sheet music that’ll be great. Thanks!

Im around ARCT level for RCM. I’m not sure how that works for ABRSM. Im not sure if my sightreading level is up to par though.

Here is what I suggest:
Start learning some harder pieces, and bring these in later on, while you start with easier pieces.
When you have the harder pieces about ready, start some more, and get into a routine.
But to answer your question: try some Satie. Gymnopedies, Gnossiens (I can’t spell that, and I’m not looking it up..)
Or Debussy, although a bit more technically difficult, manageble.
Try some Grieg, especially his Lyric Pieces.
The two nocturnes in g minor by Chopin are some of his easiest, in my opinon. Sure you can’t play them perfectly by sight-reading, but they come along quite quickly.
Maybe you should try some fake books…But do this ONLY as a drastic measure. I can’t stand those books.
