Piano Sight Reading Lessons

December 28, 2009 by Ryan Edward · Leave a Comment 

Sight ReadingMusic is a universal language. In order to master any language, one needs to learn the reading and speaking skills of that language.

A piano player who is proficient in playing by ear but has limited ability in reading music is actually considered musically illiterate.

Similarly, a pianist who is a strong sight reader but cannot improvise, lacking the ability to make beautiful music, is also considered musically illiterate.

Time after time, I have come across pianists who cannot read music well and rely on memorization to save them. Do you admire pianists who can just pick up any piece of sheet music and play without stumbling?

If you want to take your sight reading to the next level, I have great news for you!

A special friend of mine, Yoke Wong, is an accomplished pianist and music educator. She has compiled a comprehensive home study course called, Mastering The Art Of Piano Sight Reading to help piano students master the art of music reading. I generally do not promote other courses, but this one is unique and deserves your attention. Since I am very aware of the value and importance of music reading, I also recognize the value of this course. It can really make a significant difference in your piano playing.

If you seriously want to upgrade your skills, I urge you to get this DVD home study course by clicking here now.

She even put in a valuable bonus with the course – an additional 90 minutes of advanced piano sight reading instructional DVD (limited quantity). Be sure to grab your copy before the bonus is gone!

Your feedback is very important in helping us evaluate how the course has made an impact on your piano playing world. I would love to hear from you once you have tried it out!

Thanks for your response!

Many of you have emailed me with an interest in taking your piano playing skills to the next level.  I want to help you get there by ensuring that you get the most out of your piano practice and learning experience.

Studying music is like studying a foreign language. To become fluent, one needs to be competent in both reading and speaking. Now, apply this to your piano playing. How well do you read? What about improvising? How well do you improvise?  These techniques (sight reading and improvising) go together, just as reading and speaking do.

Over the many years of my musical career, I have come across trained pianists who are excellent sight readers but really struggle with improvising.  That, obviously, is not a good situation.

If you think you need help in improvisation, I have an important message for you.

A special friend of mine, Yoke Wong, is an accomplished pianist and music educator who specializes in piano improvisation. She has compiled a comprehensive home study course called, Definitive Piano Improvisation to help piano students master the art of improvising. I generally do not promote other courses, but this one is unique and deserves your attention.

Since I am very aware of the value and importance of improvisation, I also recognize the value of this course. It can really make a significant difference in your piano playing.

If you seriously want to upgrade your skills, I urge you to get this DVD home study course by clicking here now.

The course comes with 11 hours of video instruction, 2 CD’s and a 142-page binder. For those who take advantage of this offer through this link, Yoke will include a bonus of her “Inspirational Moments Digital Sheet Music.”
