Article: Take your time and play each note in the sheet music. Play deliberately and get used to playing off the sheet music. Once you're more comfortable, you can pick up the speed in which you play. Once you get the notes down, you can start concentrating on rhythm. Always try to read ahead so that you know what comes next, even if you miss a note here or there. This is especially important if you have to flip to the next page. As you get better at sight reading, try to read several notes or beats ahead of what you're playing. You'll know that you're ready to read ahead when you can comfortably sit in front of a new piece of music and follow along with the notes as you play. Skip over the notes that you missed and try to get back on the rhythm. Continue to follow the sheet music with your eyes as you play. Feel for the keys to ensure that your hands are in the right position. Use your hearing to recognize if you're off-key rather than looking down at your hands. It will take time to learn to keep your eyes on the music, but this gets easier as you gain experience with sight reading. The slower you go, the more time you’ll have to hit each key and the more accurate you'll be as you sight read. On the music, there may be tempo markings telling you to drastically change your rhythm. Ignore these markings until you're proficient at sight reading. In addition to these markings, there may also be a notation above each note called an articulation. You should also ignore these.  Tempo markings will often be found on the top and to the left of the notes. Some examples of tempo markings include allegro (brisk), presto (very fast), moderato (moderately fast), grave (slow/solemn), and lento (slow). A small dot above the note is called a staccato and signifies that the note should be shorter in duration. This is an example of articulation. A slur is an articulation that looks like a curved line written above the notes. When you see this articulation it means that you shouldn't put any beats or spaces in between the notes. Once you're done playing the first piece of music, switch to a different piece and start the process over. Don't go back and try to play the first piece perfectly because that builds muscle memory, not sight reading skills.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Play each note slowly when you first start sight reading. Read 2 notes ahead as you play the music. Play the piece all the way through without stopping. Keep your eyes on the music and don’t look down at your hands. Ignore more complex note commands until you feel comfortable. Play another piece of sheet music.
Article: There are many different symptoms of BV that you may have. Learning the symptoms of BV can help you identify them and know when you need to schedule an appointment with your doctor for potential treatment.  Some women don’t show any symptoms of BV.

Article: When the kiln is firing, it will be extremely hot, so avoid touching it directly. Use the following casting schedule on your kiln to fuse the glass:  Turn the temperature to 250 °F (121 °C) for 10 minutes. Raise the temperature to around 1,465 °F (796 °C) and leave it on that temperature for 10 minutes. Turn the heat down to 950 °F (510 °C) and leave the kiln at that temperature for 1 hour. Decrease the temperature to 850 °F (454 °C) and wait for 15 minutes. Turn the heat to 100 °F (38 °C). Leave the kiln closed and wait a day before you open it. Don't touch the mold or reach into the kiln until the outside is cool to the touch. The time it takes the kiln to cool will vary. Measure the temperature of the kiln an hour after it fired. This difference between the temperature it fired at and the temperature an hour later is the cooling rate per hour for the kiln. For example, if your kiln fired at 1,500 °F (820 °C) and an hour later the temperature is 1,250 °F (677 °C), the cooling rate is 250 °F (121 °C) per hour. Put gloves on when removing the glass from the kiln as it still might be quite warm. Place the glass on a steady work surface. Use a diamond pad or a grinding stone to make it smooth and get rid of any blemishes. Rub uneven or imperfect areas of the glass with the diamond pad or grinding stone to smooth out the imperfections. Hold the mold gently as you rub it with the diamond pad or grinding stone. Kilns are programmed to turn off after they're finished firing. If you want to, you can force the kiln to turn off by using the on/off switch on the kiln. When you're finished with the kiln, plug it out to cut off the electrical supply reaching it.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Fire your kiln to fuse the glass. Let the kiln fully cool down. Take your mold out of the kiln and refine it. Unplug the kiln when you're finished using it.
