If you’re visiting this page right now, then chances are you’ve had these thoughts before:

  • Why is sight-reading so hard?
  • Why do I suck at sight-reading despite years of playing the piano?
  • Will it ever get easier?
  • Where do I even start?

 

I hear you. Sight-reading IS hard, especially at the piano. But what if I told you it doesn’t have to be so hard? What if I told you it can be fun?

 

That’s why I’ve created the Sight-Reading Club membership.

 

It’s a private hub where piano players from around the world can:

  • Get together (both virtually AND in person – once the restrictions have been lifted)
  • Exchange ideas on how to overcome difficulties
  • Share their progress and keep each other accountable
  • Share music scores to sight-read and useful resources on sight-reading
  • Ask for feedback
  • Get access to sight-reading exercises, drills and excerpts
  • Participate in challenges to stay motivated
  • Attend live Q&A calls
  • And much more…

 

I’ve created the Sight-Reading Club so that you can finally get the support and the resources you need to become the piano player you’ve always wanted to be – a piano player who can just sit down and play!

 

UPDATE: The Sight-Reading Club is now permanently closed, however the sight-reading material from the Club is now available to purchase in the online shop!

Here's the story: Dave, now in his 70s, was one of the very first beta testers of MIDI keyboards. This piece, along with others, was written and stored in those early synthesizers, and due to varied circumstances remained there. It was not until Covid that Dave asked someone to extract these files and transfer them to a modern computer. He then created a set of 5 piano suites out of them, four decades later!
