Course Overview



A crash course in sightreading. During this programme, students will learn how music is put together and how to quickly look at a score and be able to replicate it on their instrument. They will be able to sightread any beginner-level piece and will develop a deep, foundational knowledge that they can apply as they develop their sight-reading practice. In every lesson, students will learn one new piece that will be practised between classes. Students will also be encouraged to write their own music as a practical way to put the concepts they learn on this course into practice. Students who engage in plenty of practice between classes will benefit most from this course.
