Read Music Fast for Piano - The Easy Way to Sight-Read Music (Udemy.com)

I am a little torn on rating this course. On one hand, Arthur has a real gift to teach, and he has a very simple and no nonsense style to him and it is great for learning. This course delivers exactly as promised, but really with such little effort can be so much more. For example, you will learn how to play a lot of notes, which is great, but maybe teaching a little about timing and staying in rhythm. His speed tests kind of do this (a bit reminding me of guitar hero on xbox in a good way), but would be good to explain basics like 4/4, 3/4 so that you can not only read notes but be able to put them in a rhythm as well. Jokingly but not, aligning the notes and rhythm to something simple like "Happy Birthday" might drive the point home. Another thing is basic chords. Arthur has another class on this, and honestly would be a nice tease to mention that in this course. Maybe reading a basic C chord (CE or CEG), as opposed to just C. I am really looking forward to starting his chords class which I have also purchased. Lastly, the interactive games like the java piano app to test which keys align to what note is good. Although this is more a test of mouse reaction times. Overall, Arthur did a great job and has a real gift teaching this. If you are looking to learn how to pick up notes and be able to quickly identify them, this will deliver for you. At first, I thought I wouldn't like this class but stick with it, you will not be disappointed in the results.

I understand what it is trying to teach well. The author has a good natural English teaching voice which helps. The goal: Ability to see a node and put it visually fast on the correct spot on the keyboard.

Arthur Bird just has a very relaxed and friendly demeanour, he explains things methodically and with crystal clarity. I really enjoyed this short course, it made perfect sense, and although 10 guide notes is not a lot, it's nevertheless very useful for not just anchoring what the notes 'mean' on the stave, but also which key on the piano to strike, there are several instances of each note, Arthur makes all of that really clear and easy to follow. Thank You!

It is very easy to follow and I love the method being taught to learn how to sight read on music notes. Thank you very much for sharing the easy way to sight read music notes.

Hi - a really excellent and exciting start - I've learned so much from just these first few lessons. I'm 72 years old and have only (sort of) played by ear all of my life!

Es el segundo curso que adquiero de este autor (el primero fue el de Blues para principiantes) y me encanta cómo explica y te mantiene motivado para seguir el curso. Sobre todo, aprendes y lo pones en práctica de inmediato!!!!

I like this course. I think it is a good course if you are trying to read music and can't seem to make headway, I think this course shows you a way to get over the hump and make it.

Arthur es muy buen maestro , aprendí hasta inglés ! Lo hace fácil por eso tengo ya otros curso . Para los test el piano se equivoca !! Pero todo bien . Gracias por todo y sigo aunque me tarde pero aprendo de verdad .

Excellent course! Arthur is a very good teacher. He’s designed a course that can teach anyone to read notes on a piano music score. With practice, especially on a piano, you will go from reading notes to reading phrases. Eventually reading music becomes like reading a book. Thanks for the great course, Arthur! Good Job!!

Arthur has clearly put a lot of work into making the instruction easy to follow, with the supporting graphics. His diction is crisp and clear. A good introduction with all elements explained, without the need to grasp it all at once.looking forward to working through the lessons.
