I would add another sign: That you no longer have to stop and restart the piece. You can play with fluency and are able to maintain the rhythm even if you play wrong notes.
Great information and tips for all instrumentalists. Manu's channel is unique, in that it focuses on the art and skill of sight reading and how to evaluate your progress with a 7 point index. Good job Manu.
What I meant was that sight-reading a different piece each day is kind of like learning a new language each day, although there will be common features of course. What analogy would you use?
@@PianoSightReading Languages are vastly different and skills don't transfer at all once you start learning a new language, least to say that to get the basics it takes months. I would say sheet music is one language by it self, every new piece adds new idioms, phrases that you have not heard or maybe used before. But once you hear, encounter those phrases enough, you start remembering and recognizing them.
