even though I read music a lot and I do it everyday, I still cant do it at full speed. Otherwise this would be a perfect solution.
When I've played a piece multilple times, it gets into my muscle memory and from this point I no longer read but its more like I look for the musical patterns. When I mess up, I actually have to find the exact place where I messed up in the score and then switch into reading note by note instead of just glancing on the big picture. This takes some time however..
The trick is to always keep your eyes on the score when playing, so you know where you are at all times, even when you look away to your hands occasionally. It's no different to giving a speech, reading aloud from a script to an audience, even though most of the lines are already in your memory because you've read through it so many times.
Sooner or later, you'll have to learn to do this, otherwise you'll end up having to memorize every piece you ever learn before you can play it properly. It's easy for you at present, because your pieces are short, but what happens when you're learning a ten-page piece in a few years' time?
