Hey students! The BLACK FRIDAY SALE is going on right now for the courses over on my website www.pianolessonsontheweb.com . Learn much more about piano, theory, rhythm and anything else you need to become a well rounded musician. These are the largest discounts of the year so don't miss out! Sale ends December 3rd.
The ultimate goal, would be to read music the same way you read words. When you read this comment I'm writing, you're not seeing every single letter; the same thing applies to music. It usually take about 10,000 hours of practice to become fluent enough, so that you can sight read something like Beethoven's Appassionata or a Chopin Etude.
Love these lessons. I'm pretty good at sightreading, but practice it everyday since you told me. Agree with everything you said, except for learning the Every Guitarist Begins Doodling Funnily type of phrases. I think it's better to learn the alphabet forward and backward, both in scalar form as well as in thirds. Recently I have committed to singing as well. It helps. Really. When I started in school over 60 years ago, every choir teacher told me to move my lips and not make a sound. This gave me a mental block. i did try to learn beginning singing in University just to achieve a stage voice, but the professor asked if it wasn't too late to be reimbursed. Did I mention that I had a ZUGE mental block? No more. It really helped my piano playing.
Genuine question, why does it matter (at least to someone who just enjoys just playing) if I know if the chord I am playing is A Major, A Minor etc? Surely as long as I can read the music and know to press the correct keys then it's not important?

Hey students,
Check out these next to get a real understanding of how reading music works. ua-cam.com/video/yltCkCy1DeM/v-deo.html
Yes please post a sight reading video, thank you.
10:49 … It’s a G Major chord, yes; but not in 1st inversion … ?
You are indeed correct. My mistake!
Are you going to do a video on how to play slash chords
Wow this is wonderful 👏.
How can one develop impedance and evenness in both hands?
Impedance....did you mean independence?
@caterinaml yeah independence
When read the music, do we read from treble clef to bass clef or from bass to treble clef
How do you make a melody using a C major only using quarter with 4/4 timr signature
I have trouble reading notes way below the bass clef. Cannot read correctly in Impromptu by Schubert. Drive me nuts. Tips?
please use chapters so that I can skip around to the tips I don't already know, I don't have that much time (:
D-flat Major is the easiest scale to play.
