How can you take your piano sight reading
to the next level,
to bring the music
you love to life?

The solution is
at your fingertips...


You've played for years.
You already understand
sheet music notation.
You don't need another app drilling you on note names...

You could follow the usual sight reading advice,
"Just do it a lot."

But remember:
to truly develop a skill, it's not just what you do that matters....

It's how you do it!


So, how do great
sight readers do it?


They may (or may not)
be skilled in playing by ear,

composition, improvisation, etc...

But all great sight readers have developed a skill
which is 
largely kept secret. You also have this latent ability. You just need to give it a little time and attention.

There is one skill they
ALL have in common,
which is rarely talked about:

They have a great FEEL
for the keyboard.

This allows them to
sight read without
looking down much.
By keeping their eyes
on the page,
they enter a feedback loop:
see the notes, feel the keys, listen to the music...

By developing this feedback loop, you can become a
great sight reader, too,
and enjoy the musical, social, and financial benefits
of learning new music quickly!

The Course:

50 Step-By-Step
Trainings & Games

Averaging 10 minutes each,
these are designed for daily breakthroughs.
Watch at your convenience.
Keep them for life!

Learn the details that
make the difference,
including piano technique principles to sight read with ease and flow.

"I've been learning to play the piano for the last couple of years, using a variety of online materials. All of these recommend keeping your eyes on the score and off the keyboard; however, very few explain how this skill is to be achieved. David has developed a detailed and carefully thought-out program to help increase your confidence while sight reading material for the first time. I can thoroughly recommend it!" -- John H.

"Before I started these games, I had to keep looking down at my fingers. I find now that it’s much easier to go from one position to another [without looking down]. I’ve also started reading more by intervals, which I always found really difficult. I just can’t recommend these games highly enough; they’re fantastic!" --Joy A.
