Sight-Reading: The Easiest Way to Read Music Notes

What You Will Learn?

• Several years ago, I was taught to read music using acronyms and mnemonics: FACE, Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge, and the like. This is, by far, the most commonly taught method for reading music. While the catchy sayings were easy to remember, it was a poor method of preparation for an early musician's ultimate goal: sight-reading, the ability to recognize notes quickly and play music fluently. I eventually managed to summit the sight-reading learning curve, but it was a long and unnecessarily tedious climb. .
• Upon studying music at Stanford, I came across something called the Landmark System, an unbelievably simple approach to reading music that required way less effort and memorization. All I could think was, "How much faster could I have mastered sight-reading if I had been taught this method instead?".
• As you may have guessed, that's how this class was born. It was too late for me, but through this class, I now hope to share this knowledge with as many new musicians as I can!.
• This class is for you if any of the following apply:.
• In this class, we will cover:.
• Last thing: this class is meant to be a supplement, NOT a replacement, for a proper education in music theory. Music is so much more than being able to read notes, most of which this class does not even attempt to cover. Rather, this class was designed specifically to absolve the most common pain points of a musician learning how to sight-read. For lack of better words, this class is the Mario mushroom of musical sight-reading..
