I am such a terrible score sight reader so I always want to improve it with a systematic and efficient way.
I remember using some computer software to train my English blind typing about 20 years ago. These are just like games with the letters or words running on the screen and you have to hit the right keys in right sequences before they disappear. The software tells you how fast and how accurate you type.
I was thinking that it would be amazing if there is any software that can help music sight reading in a similar way. And I found it yesterday! Its called Jalmus, originally designed to help musician and music learner. Please check the video:
It stopped updating in 2013, but you can still download it here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/jalmus/files/
(Its a jar file. Just double click it to install.)
The input must be a midi keyboard. I tried it with my Korg nanoKEY2 and seems no problem. I wonder if one can use Roland V-accordion with it to train the blind sight reading? {}
I would buy a V-accordion if it works!!
And please dont hesitate to tell us if you have any alternative solution!
