Alternative Thoughts on the Liberation of Piano Sight Reading: A Model Suggestion
Öz
This article has been prepared with the aim of developing sight-reading skills from the beginning of piano performance in music education. The aim of the study is to provide sight-reading skills to students who are new to piano education, offering methodological suggestions and example exercises. These suggestions are of great importance as they serve as vital supplementary materials for piano performance. The curriculum includes original compositions specifically written for this study by the researcher, as well as works by composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Graupner, Berens, Türk, and Kabalevsky, arranged from simple to complex. The study conducted using the action research method was carried out over a 10-week period with 10 students studying in the music department of Kayseri Fine Arts High School. The reason for selecting 10th-grade students is the belief that the foundational music education provided in the 9th grade would allow students to better internalize their transcription skills in the 10th grade. Process evaluation includes student interviews conducted at the end of each lesson and pre-test/post-test designs implemented to measure the effectiveness of the method. The research results have revealed that the developed methodological approach significantly contributes to students' decoding skills. The study argues that the development of transcription, which is a fundamental element of modern music education and performance freedom, should be initiated in the early stages of education and continued throughout the entire educational process These findings indicate that a well-designed transcription curriculum not only enhances musical literacy but also supports a more autonomous approach to piano performance by encouraging students to independently explore new repertoire. In this respect, the study contributes to piano education by filling the methodological gap in the literature.
