SOPP626: I am very interested in developing my sight reading abilities to a high level, where I could just grab any composition and play it at tempo

This question was sent by Mario, and he writes:

“Hello Vidas, my name is Mario I am a 25 year old musician from Panamá.

My dream is to become Panamá's first organist, we have two pipe organs in the country and lucky for me I have access to both.

One is Spanish pipe organ with 2 manuals and 30 note straight pedalboard and 51 keys on each manual.

Second is a Renaissance pipe organ built in 2019 by a Polish organ company, it has 3 manuals with 51 keys also and a 27 note pedalboard.

I am very interested in developing my sight reading abilities to a high level, where I could Just grab any composition and play it at tempo, and I mean piano or organ composition. I am wondering if your sight reading course would be good for me.

I am comfortable sight reading hymns, but I don't have knowledge on pipe organ repertoire, only Bach.

I practice on a digital Piano a Yamaha p155. I bought an AGO pedalboard and it should arrive in 2 weeks.

Let me know if you can help me become a master at sight reading.”
