It is better to use fingerpicking.

Well prepared Vinod!
This would be a nice introduction for score reading.
Good job!

Sweet! I think I'm starting to get this Will definitely help on my violin playing!

Hey Vinod,

this sight reading course is great. I just added sight reading to my practice routine as it's something I would really like to master. Are you going to continue posting new drills? I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi, Vinod!

Great lesson. After a year, all GMCer will be reading music!

Thanx Kosei



Next drills may take some time as I'm extreamly busy these days
Hope you guys enjoy sight reading

You Play violin too?
