So I already play both the piano and the violin but in very different ways. For piano, I bassically am terrible at sight reading but i'm fine with theory. Theres always that 2 second hesitation to see let's say a c on the paper and actually play it but I can kind of learn the song by figuring out the melody and that point I learn the song by the melody and the muscle memory and know what notes I'm playing rather than reading it from the sheet, I don't know if that made sense. Pretty much I have to decode the notes on the sheet until I understand it by the keys rather than actually reading it from the sheet. I also cannot read bass clef unless I think "what would it be if it was a whole step up on treble clef, so pretty much I cannot sight read in any productive manner. I also already know how to play the piano, so I think my ego is really preventing me from starting from the very beginning and I think knowing me theres no other way around that. That's why I'm looking for a way to learn it relatively fast but I'm also bad at multitasking so I'm looking for something that has the full range of notes without having to deal with rhythm or even two hands or chords atleast as the starting point and make my way towards that only after it becomes intuitive to see a note and play it without any hesitation. Scales don't work because I already know the scales and I wouldn't be reading it from the book and even it is a harder scale which I havn't learned I'd still take the time to learn it off the sheet then completely disregard it once I've learned the notes
For violin is different, I'm fairly good at sight reading to the third position, everything past that I try to determine the melody and try to memorize the finger position and so I've played songs past the third position in the past but never through direct sight reading but memorization of the patterns so I'm once again looking for easy notes without dealing with rhythm to learn the notes
I don't know if that made sense, but thank you so much
