tropicalorange asked:

I’m having a frustrating time trying to get good at this. I’m getting in the routine of reading at least an hour everyday but progress seems really really slow. i have a few months to get pretty decent at reading in order to get into some schools for music.

is there any advice out there that might aid in my daunting venture?
sorry, for guitar

I would like to learn how to play the acoustic guitar, but reading music is so complicated. Are there any tips to learn how to play the guitar at a slow (but suceeding) pace, and the best way to learn how to read music from books?

I just read a very interesting article talking about music education in public schools and how people learn to read music…. It was a radio interview and a caller asked a question, basically, “Why do we still teach people how to read music the old slow way that hasn’t changed in at least 200 years??”

The speaker essentially said, “yes there are faster ways to learn to read music, but it’s important to still study classical music” (which I agree with by the way), but she didn’t even answer the question!! If there’s a faster way to teach people how to read music it needs to be taught. I’ve been saying this for years and FINALLY it sounds like people are starting to listen. Music theory, learning to read music, and fundamental music education don’t have to be antiquated, but they are in the normal ways music are taught. If you want a way to learn how to read music fast and easy, in a manor that keeps up with the latest advancements in how people learn the quickest, check out Speedy Music Reading
