Are you tired of spending HOURS figuring out notes and taking months to just learn ONE piece?
Then it's time to improve your sight-reading...
so you can play the pieces you love without hours of practising!
Join the Sight-Reading Club, a private community of piano players all striving towards improving their sight-reading at the piano!
Which of these apply to you?
- You’re new to sight-reading and you don’t know where to begin.
- No matter how long you practise sight-reading, it doesn’t get better or easier.
- You don’t know which music to use or where to find it.
- You’re tired of spending hours trying to work out the notes. You just want to play!
- You try to teach yourself sight-reading but it seems impossible.
I get it!
Sight-reading IS hard. It’s overwhelming and it takes time.
Sight-reading at the piano is especially hard. We have to:
- Read not one but TWO lines of music
- Read TWO different clefs at the same time
- Coordinate the hands
- Read a HUGE number of notes all at once
The list goes on!
And if you’re like most of the piano players I work with, you’re probably frustrated and wondering if it’s ever going to get easier.
And the fact is... it’s not your fault that you can’t sight-read.
Sight-reading is hardly ever taught. And if it is taught, it’s done quickly at the end of a lesson right before your piano exam!
And the truth is, sight-reading didn’t come easy to me either...
Sight-reading is something I started doing all the time and I just got better over the years. But it wasn’t always this way.
When I was a little girl, the moment I hit a wrong note, I would drop my hands on my lap and stop playing!
Luckily, my mum, who also plays the piano, encouraged me to keep going even when I made mistakes. Fast forward a few years and I was flipping through books, playing through lots of pieces just for fun. Did it sound perfect? No, of course not. But did I enjoy it? I sure did.
And that’s what I want for you too.
That's why I created the Sight-Reading Club because I believe that...
Sight-reading is the fastest and most effective way to learn new pieces without hours of practising.
Imagine if you could...
… grab a piece of music - any piece of music - and sit down and play it!
Imagine if you got together with friends and could play music on the spot.
Imagine if you didn’t have to spend hours and hours trying to figure out the notes but could instead play through the piece the first time around!

When you join, you'll get access to:
LIVE Q&A CALLS
Each month, you’ll get your questions answered by hopping on a live Q&A call with me and fellow members. You'll also get instant access to all past live Q&A calls.
GUEST INTERVIEWS & WORKSHOPS
Each couple of months, I’ll bring guest speakers from the piano industry for live or recorded interviews or workshops. You'll also get instant access to all past interviews and workshops.
MONTHLY THEMES
Every couple of months, our conversations will be centered around a particular theme like Romantic Music, Classical Music or topics of your choice.
We'll discuss resources, tips and ideas related to these themes.
CHALLENGES
Every couple of months, you'll get to take part in a challenge to improve a certain area of sight-reading such as not looking down, reading ahead, playing hands together, and more.
SIGHT-READING MATERIAL
You'll get access to a growing library of drills, exercises and sight-reading excerpts. More will be added over time as needed.
A ROADMAP
We all know how daunting it is to find appropriate resources for sight-reading so I’ve done the work for you by giving you a Roadmap.
The Roadmap is like a progressive sight-reading book that takes you from the beginning stages to the more advanced stages of sight-reading, starting with individual notes all the way up to 4-note chords. Unlike a book, the roadmap will change and evolve over time. New content will be added as needed.
In each stage of the Roadmap you’ll find:
- Music theory to explain the concepts
- Sight-reading tips
- Recommended resources that are most relevant to that stage
- Tailored warm-up exercises and identification drills
- Sight-reading excerpts which you can play along with audio at any tempo
- Sight-reading tests to assess your progress
Plus these BONUSES:
#1
Online Virtual Concerts
Every few months, you'll get to participate in online concerts where you can perform one or several piano pieces in front of your fellow piano players.
#2
In-Person Events
Some day in the future, when the pandemic is over, my hope is to organise in-person events where members from the same part of the world will get together and sight-read music.

Here's why our members love
the Sight-Reading Club:
Still have questions?
Here are answers to some of the questions you may have...
What happens after I join?
Once you join, you will get instant access to all the content inside the Sight-Reading Club, including all the content of the Roadmap, past live Q&A calls and past guest interviews. You won't have to wait to unlock the content. It’s all there for you.
What if I can’t make it live?
No worries. You will get access to the replays of all the live sessions.
Can I cancel anytime?
Of course. I don’t want you to be locked in a contract. You can cancel at any time from your account and you will continue to have access to the resources and the community until the end of your billing period. You can also upgrade to an annual membership or downgrade to a monthly membership without needing to email anyone.
I already have some sight-reading skills. Is the Sight-Reading Club for me?
Certainly. While the majority of the members will be at the start of their journey, the Club includes a Roadmap that is designed to help you at any stage of your journey, from beginner to advanced levels.
The Club will also help improve your skills further by providing you with performance opportunities and challenges several times a year.
Can I download the material and consume it offline?
The videos are only available inside the Club. However, the drills, exercises and sight-reading excerpts can be printed out and used offline.
I just started learning the piano. Is the Sight-Reading Club for me?
Yes, if you have just started learning the piano and know some of the basics of how to read music, then the Club is for you!
However, if you have zero knowledge of music and don’t know your way around the piano, I would suggest coming back to the Club in a few months when you’ve had some lessons and have started learning how to read music.
I'm not really tech-savvy. Will I be able to use the Sight-Reading Club?
Of course. The platform is easy to use and intuitive. And to make sure you know your way around, you will get access to a walk-through video showing you where everything is and how to use the platform. And if you’re still stuck on how to use the website, you can book a private 1:1 call with me.
I have a busy schedule, will I have time to go through the content?
The content inside the Sight-Reading Club is self-paced meaning that you can take as much time as you need to go through the content.
Dedicating even just 5 to 10 minutes a day to drills, exercises and sight-reading excerpts is all you really need to start seeing progress.
Can't I just improve my sight-reading by reading lots of music?
Yes, you could... but the problem is that there is SO much piano music out there! What music should you use and in what order? And if you're like most people, you might make the mistake of using music that is too difficult for you to sight-read. This just leads to frustration. The last thing you want is to get frustrated and give up!
By following the Roadmap inside the Sight-Reading Club, you'll know exactly what to focus on and in what order.
Here's what Juanita had to say after only TWO months in the Sight-Reading Club:
Hi, I'm Manu!
I know how frustrating it can be to have music in front of you and not be able to play it. Over the past 15 years, I've seen the struggles my students go through and I've helped them overcome these difficulties so they can become independent learners and learn new pieces without my guidance.
I love sight-reading! The wonderful state you get into when sight-reading is a state I wish all of you to experience. This is why I've made it my life's mission to help piano players like you improve their sight-reading so they can sit down and play whatever they like without hours of practising.
