Sight Reading Secrets Revealed

Vespera Carlin asked:


I have perfect pitch (not bragging) been playing piano classically since i was 2, and then when i was 10 i broke off into music recording and studio composition for the last 5 years. Now i want to play the harp for orchestra and as use that as my solo instrument (like hendrix is to guitar), but i can’t sight read to save my life. I could tell you what key you’re playing in when i hear it, and i can play scales in any key on any instrument, but i can’t sight read at all. I don’t know what a coda is, i don’t know rests, slures, ties. i took a theory class last year and failed every test. I can write a little music, but that’s about it. What are alternatives to learning how to read, besides a teacher and a class (both of which i can’t get at the moment) Are there softwares that could teach me, and if so what are they?
thank you

thanks for the advice, and yes perfect pitch means i play by ear. i learn songs by ear, and i remember things by ear. but that doesn’t help when you have to play something you haven’t heard!

I’m having a frustrating time trying to get good at this. I’m getting in the routine of reading at least an hour everyday but progress seems really really slow. i have a few months to get pretty decent at reading in order to get into some schools for music.

is there any advice out there that might aid in my daunting venture?
sorry, for guitar
