In the application that was done with the groups to analyze the influence of a regular sight reading practice upon sight reading skills, a significant difference was found between the experimental and control group posttest 'Sight Reading Performance Evaluation Scale' scores in favor of the experimental group. The data obtained was analyzed after the application and interpreted by statistical techniques. The process was carried out within 1 week of pretest evaluations by a jury of experts, 8 weeks of individual guitar instrument training performed by the researcher and 1 week of posttest evaluations by the jury. The study included a 10-week experimental process.

Data were collected using 'The Guitar Performance Grading Scale' and 'The Sight Reading Performance Evaluation Scale'. In the study groups, 7 students from the individual instrument training course made up the experimental group (n=7) and another 7 students from the individual instrument training made up the control group (n=7). The application process was carried out with 14 undergraduate students studying Music and Fine Arts Education Department from Marmara University.

In the research, experimental method was used with a pretest-posttest control and experimental group. This study was conducted to analyze the effects of regular sight reading studies of classical guitar students on their sight reading and their performance of classical guitar.
