Feel at ease Reading, Playing and Writing the notes on the music staff!

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!

I can’t wait to have you in!

"I mainly play electric guitar, would I still benefit from this course?"

Absolutely so!

The notation system based on the staff and the notes is the same for acoustic and electric guitar, no difference.

"I own a classical guitar, are the notes the same?"

Yes, they are.

"I can play the guitar very well, but can't read the notes. Is this course too "basic" for me?"

This course is for anyone who desires to learn how to read the notes, no matter the starting playing level.

Even if you are a seasoned player, you'll find this course perfect.

However, don't skip any step!

Even if the first few lessons sound basic to you, the goal is to learn how to read the notes.

"I have a guitar, what else do I need?"

You don't need anything else in order to practice the exercises, all the files you need are included.

However, in order to complete the DIY section assignments, having a pen, paper and a printer is strongly suggested!

"Are TABs included?"

No. Read, Play, Write is about learning how to read the notes.

You won't find any TABs of any sort :).

"Is this new method like magic?"

Probably not.

If you truly desire to deepen your musical knowledge and skills you'll need to put in your time and effort!

Anyway, Read, Play, Write is designed to be as frustration-free as possibile.

You'll like it!
