Did anyone else laugh at this line thinking it was a bit of a pun?

I did start reading that sentence thinking he was talking about scores, I had to read it twice.

This is fascinating. The question I want to ask is does this help in any way when trying to improve one's sight reading? Surely the mention of looking too far ahead and 'overloading' the brain, among other points, could be useful pointers.

Planethead, Where did you find this article? Was it in a journal?

Good morning

I was looking for some less proscribed information on SR...how to develop my own systems for improving MY sight reading so trying to understand what the brain does in order to sight read seemed a good starting point.

this ties in with another thread on here about singing what you play which I believe is probably a very good way of speeding up the process of sight reading -

anyway beats standing around on street corners hustling for change!
