As a modern guitar player, I really wonder how I ended up feeling at ease with sheet music.

I was 11 when my music education started.
At the time most teachers taught the notation system by explaining the full theory extensively first, then gave you a music sheet and challenge you to sight read it.
I've been there, that was so hard, frustrating and demotivating to do.
As a consequence, some students believed they had no talent for music in general.
The worst thing is, in most cases the teacher agreed!

Crazy.

Luckily for me, my beloved violin teacher was different.

He used to explain ONE single element of the notation system at a time, in a simple way, SHOWING how it sounds, having me playing it IMMEDIATELY.
He also INVOLVED me, by having me integrating the new element into the ones I already knew.
That's it.
This functional, frustration-free approach made total sense to me.
What I learned that way was quick to understand and stayed with me forever, even when I switched from the violin to the guitar.

The Read, Play, Write course is my own take on it, specifically formulated for guitarists.

After many years of teaching this method to my own private students with incredible results, “Read, Play, Write” is now available for everyone as an online program!

Learning Flow

The special order in which the elements are presented and integrated is what makes this method unique.
Expect anything but an ordinary, academic, bullet-list style.

In-Depth

The integration of selected elements is facilitated by in-depth, narrow-in exercises.
The element is first dissected singularly with a preparatory exercise, then integrated with the others.

Focus

Among the infinite number of possibilities the notation system can generate, this course is focused on the most frequent combinations you are likely to find in real-world music.
