Mozart doing a little recital at the fun class she did with Dad in San Jose, California when she was five . Her teacher from China taught a thorough keyboard-based method that included singing, solfege, rhythm, ear training, sight reading, music theory, music history and composition. Here she chose to play “Old Blue” and “Sunbeams” in May 2006. Her passion is composition/ improvisation, so we have switched to a great jazz piano teacher who teaches world wide over the internet. We will be getting more videos up documenting her progress on piano as we roam the world!

Sight Reading Secrets Revealed

Jeremy S asked:


I don’t know if I’m ready…or even good enough. But college is coming soon. I’m huge into music. I’ve been playing guitar for close to three years now, mostly electric. I can hold my own with most musicians out here and have played with rock bands, to jazz groups.

I’m mainly self taught on guitar. I’ve learned a lot by ear.

I’m currently working on theory and during my last semester of high school, I’m taking more theory lessons and some more guitar instruction. My sight reading isn’t very good still…

But mainly, I’m afraid my style and what I play isn’t going to be what the college wants. I want so badly to get in and study my instrument…or at least study music theory and composition…I just don’t think I’m at the right level.

Am I getting there? Or is this too lofty a goal for someone with as poor credentials as I?
