I am ok at reading music but where I fall down is where they put the sharps in the margin and not against the notes. It takes me a while to recognise which is which at speed. Those are called "key signatures," basics that you'll have to learn. You can't be said to be "ok at reading music" if you can't play in the basic keys that have a few sharps and flats in the key signature. Regards,

Wow, focused effort on sight reading? I gave up on ever being good at sight reading. I just read music for fun, if I need to take a hand off because the piece I'm reading is hard so be it. Not going to bother looking through stuff I don't really like.
