The purpose of this paper is to know how the string sight-reading is nowadays being practiced and being taught in the Spanish music education system. The relation between the use of sight-reading tests in exams and the previous preparation of students to succeed, is being analyzed.
Studies in different fields of sight-reading are reviewed as well as conservatory study plans and Spanish regulations, in the different regions, about sight-reading planification and exams. The English system, ABRSM has been studied to establish a comparison with Spanish music education system approach. The results hold up the sight-reading as an indicative factor in the music education system approach and also a rating factor of musician’s aptitudes, training typology and experience in performance field.
