Hey guys, I play guitar and when I sight read sheet music I see a note and I don’t really think about what note it is I just see it and play the fret it corresponds to (note I can only play in open position, I can play in others but it takes a while) So anyway, Is this bad? Should I first identify the note then play it or should it be instantaneous? (BTW I can read music perfectly so it’s not like I don’t know the notes and I know all the notes in open position) And if this is bad, Is there a way to break this?
Ya so what I’m wondering is when I read sheet music I just see the note and play it, it just flows naturally, Should I be thinking what note I’m playing or should I just play it?

I’m going to be in choir this year and I need to learn to read music. The choir instructor does something called sight reading to teach new songs…so I really need to know how to read music to be able to sing it by just looking at the notes. If you could give any sites that are FREE that would help me out it would be great…I can’t afford to pay for it, so it has to be FREE. Thanks!!

i am trying to teach myself how to sight read easy songs for the piano, but because it’s piano, i always have to read more than one note at a time. so when i try to read and play at the same time, i have to stop at each measure and figure it out before i can play it, and it takes me like 10 minutes to get through a song….so technically im not sight reading, right? am i just wasting my time? or will this help me at all?- and another thing is, after i play a measure, i automatically memorize it so when i go back to play it again, i already know what to play which is another thing that causes me not to sight read……any suggestions on how i can improve my sight reading skills?
