Sight-Reading Test

A skill test that was used during the EngD which helped determine the ability to read a piece of music to a set tempo. The test showed participants a basic reading exercise (a monophonic motif) and they could familiarise themselves with the exercise by reading over it for a total of 40 seconds. Once the 40s had passed, the test would count the participant in (a count of 4) and they were required to play each note seen to both the metronome and simple backing track. Participants could navigate to a help screen before or after each session to ensure that their keyboards were connected and in the correct octave whilst also reading the instructions on how the test works. Score was based on 3 factors: total correct notes, total incorrect notes and rhythm accuracy.
