Players often tell me that they’re disappointed in their abilities to play without tons of mistakes and without tons of time practicing first….but when I ask what they’re doing to help themselves sight read better…it comes to light that they’re not exactly sure what to do.
And this is not because there’s anything wrong with you.
If you’ve never been taught how to practice for SPEED when it comes to reading, it makes sense that you don’t know how to go about it!
Enter: Patterns.
The more musical patterns you know, the faster (and better) you’ll be able to sight read.
In today’s tutorial, I share 3 chord patterns that will help you sight read 10x faster.
These chord patterns are ALL OVER common musical examples and once you become familiar with them, you’ll be able to spot them and make sense of what you’re seeing on the page a whole lot faster.
I can’t wait for you to learn these 3 patterns and apply them to your sight reading!

I am a older new piano student who has had no formal music education as a child, as I study music and the way piano music is taught, I find that music theory is often regarded as scary and difficult and is saved for later after many years of practice and sight reading. But just like language reading, you don’t stay with individual letters in the alphabet, the human brain quickly adapts to words and sentences and then paragraphs and books. The human brain can memorize large amounts of words in speech making and acting. I don’t understand why music has been so slow to change. I use to teach scuba diving, which has a huge amount of mental stress as the students are trying to learn the basic skills in the pool before going out into the open water. But, there is a lot of diving theory that also has to be learned away from the water. They all go hand in hand. Thanks for all your hard work and producing of these videos!
You are very welcome and you are very correct - it’s soooooo slow. I wish change in music (especially western classical music) would happen so much faster!
I wish I knew this decades ago. Great video!
This is good advice, i'd say it was for more intermediate level atleast , you need to know all your scales and most chords, so you recognise them. Thing is, if you are on this level or higher, you will recognise your chords anyway, surely? But the tip is a good one, to recognise chord patterns. If you’ve been practicing your scales and arpeggios and chords, you will recognise them.👍
I’d say beginners can start to think in this direction even if they only know one chord - otherwise they won’t get to the point that they’ll know them all! 👍🏻
Yes! Beginners can start with even just one chord at a time and it will allow them to get to that advanced stage you’re talking about!
As a beginner, I literally look note to note never thinking to notice a larger picture of chords or patterns within each measure.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise so kindly with this wonderful tutorial.
You are very welcome and THANK YOU! Also have you seen the speed reader class replay? It’s all about sight reading and the 3 simple steps you can take to move beyond note by note reading. Lmk if you want the link.
Thanks for your generosity!
@@AshleeYoungMusicStudio You are most welcome and most deserving.
I just noticed that I do have the Speed Reader video replay in my email. I was worried it may be way beyond my very limited beginner level skills.
However, I will watch this evening; Thank You for sharing this a few weeks ago as well as so many tips, I appreciate it. 😊
Very nicely explained. :) ,So many teachers I've had in the past taught 'piano pieces' and taught 'theory' separately, but never bothered to apply the theory in individual pieces to help you learn them much faster.
Yes! I talk about this often! It’s so important to merge the two otherwise theory is useless ✅
Surprisingly I stumbled on this concept just last night while practicing the first music (Minuet in C Major) of RCM LvL 1. As I am beginner I looked at this music as having no chords at all, then after four days I was practicing four notes in a row by themselves just to lock it in better then BAM! it hit me that the arrangements of notes was G7. Now I am looking at the other parts of the piece and there are more chords. Really mind blowing. I played through the music (RH or LH Separate) umpteen times and never realized ... but I was always reading them as separate notes. This is such a good topic for such a newB like myself.
This is awesome! Bravo!!
Another nice tutorial Ashlee.. You always offer good , practical tips. Thank you
You are very welcome - thanks for saying so! :)
Wonderful practical insights into improving one's reading of notation! Thank you!
You are very welcome! Thanks for saying so! 😊
These are absolutely the things people need to recognize in order to know what to chunk in order to read, understand, and memorize faster. I found that learning rule of the octave and practicing some continuo realizations made repertoire when it's figurated, incredibly easier to read and memorize because I understand it and practiced the general patterns. That also entails knowing some basic theory to be able to know what intervals above the bass are and how to avoid parallels and how to prepare and resolve dissonances, but much progress can still be had recognizing the chords in repertoire without being able to do all of that yet.
If someone is super focused on performing and doesn't have the time to invest into continuo, I think they should write out or if they can, just read from the score and play a thoroughbass (chordal) reduction of the music they're working on. Then if they know from those broken chords what the progressions are, and where each voice is moving, bam it's way easier to memorize the music, to interpret it, and that knowledge makes the next piece easier.
This is a really thorough and great suggestion! Thank you!
This is interesting. I would suggest to reduce all the textures to S.A.T.B. choral, to show how composers create textures. Your first example from the Moonlight sonata is a good case of l'accord parfait, in close spacing, with doubled root and with the third in soprano. The bass goes in octaves, but that is a textural variation.
Nice idea!
Thank you! I think your approach is very important and useful. It leads to a larger question: how composers arrange the standard chords and standard chord progression. A good example is Bach's Allemande from the French Suite in G major. It sounds like a completely original opening two-part statement, highly embellished and elaborate. But it is a reduction from standard 4-part 10-10-10-10-10-10- progression, right from our textbooks. So, the students must first learn the standard chord progressions (in my case, they are given as a kind of partimenti) and then--using your method--make them original, unique, individual for actual musical works. @@AshleeYoungMusicStudio
Thanks for sharing ❤ I´m learning how to play by myself 🥰 New subscriber here 🤗 !!
Welcome! So happy you’re here 💕
I think this is a key (sorry😂) area for people struggling to make the jump from beginner to intermediate piano, and I’m glad to see Ashlee focusing on it with this video.
I spent quite a few years working in music stores back in the day, and I found it surprising that many, if not most, intermediate “classical” piano students were lacking in any kind of real knowledge in chords and chord theory beyond the basic basics.
Worse yet, many of them were dismissive of the idea of expanding their knowledge of chords, as if it tainted the quality of what they saw as their “serious” study of classical music. It made me sad, because they could only be getting a lot of these silly notions from their teachers, who in turn were passing along attitudes they had learned.
Yes! So many don’t want to do the work but it really unlocks a whole world. Thanks for this insightful and thoughtful comment - cool to hear your experience!
Yes! It’s so true, but it really unlocks an entire world if you learn them. Thank you for your insightful and thoughtful comment, it’s great to hear your experience.
Ive been slowly learning to this w my teacher.
Very nice!
Very nice!
Hi Ashlee, I’ve tried twice to sign up for this month’s practice lab but I’m not getting an email to confirm my email?? Help??
