How often have you heard a piano player, and you should have been enjoying their wonderful music, but instead you thought “I want that”?
Maybe there was a tinge of guilt or heartache that made you wish it was you creating instead of you listening.
You have a need to be unique, a need to be CREATIVE and you’d love to be …

You might be like the hundreds of people that have told me they wished they’d learned to play piano, or kept up piano lessons when they were younger.
As a busy piano teacher I always wanted to help them out, but my teaching studio was booked solid for years.
I knew the online space was where most people would go to get help, but I was disappointed in the approaches I saw there.
Online piano teachers don't focus on music literacy. They teach tips and tricks, which ultimately makes your chances of reading music worse! The gimmicks aren’t bad, but they’re incomplete.
People recognize what they leave out - it’s sheet music. So they often turn to books in an effort to learn to sight read. Piano method books feel childish, and they’re locked in to the misconception that learning happens in a straight line. It doesn't. It never has! You need freedom to explore what interests you and to be creative while you learn.
So I decided to make some online courses of my own. I wasn’t quite sure what would happen but I was excited to try something new. I wanted to offer something that would promote music literacy.
And the response was huge!
I was actually kind of surprised! And I was extremely encouraged by those that finished the courses. They reached out to me with amazing feedback, expressing their “aha” moments and their new confidence as Piano Readers!
But here’s the thing …
A lot of people didn’t finish the courses. Some didn’t even start!
I recognized that there was more to do to help people succeed in this space.

You know that feeling of disappointment when something good goes to waste? Wasted time, wasted effort … wasted avocados? I’m not here to sell you a course just to see it get buried in your inbox somewhere only to be forgotten and discarded like over-ripe avocados.
What people know deep down is that playing piano is a commitment. Any course that promises a shortcut is going to feel more like a bad haircut than a new outfit that makes you feel like a million bucks.
While others will show you some tricks on the keyboard, I'll demonstrate the principles and mechanics of playing piano over and over in context as we move through the music in Measure by Measure.









I tried all the different “methods” and the common old axioms around “learning to read music”. But two degrees in piano performance, the week-long seminars, certifications, pedagogy books, and even serving on the board of my local music teacher’s group didn’t teach me what I’ll share with you in Measure by Measure.
I've spent countless hours in lessons observing exactly what people get hung up on. And over time I developed an approach of teaching my students principles instead of showing them the notes.
I remember telling one student about some of the things my eyes notice on the sheet music to keep from getting overwhelmed. I specifically mentioned anchoring the eyes on visually obvious parts of the music.
There was an “aha” moment for both of us.

It was a simple concept, but one that I had never been explicitly taught in all my education. It made me realize that people who read music were often doing it despite common axioms. They were often exceptions to the rule and almost always showed a unique independence and intuition. The “right” way turned out to be just an unhelpful and confusing distraction from the real principles of music literacy.
I noticed that those people that read well PLAY with their music. They improvise, they steal ideas, they feel the keyboard with more trust, and they see the big picture while simultaneously observing interesting tiny details. In essence, they are creative with their learning.
And there isn’t one musical talent that sets them apart. Some are good at playing by ear. Some have excellent technique. Some are visual learners.
How do you know what piece to play when there is a whole mountain range of piles of sheet music!
There is one mountain of music that works really well for learning piano skills, but it often gets overlooked …
It is the mostly-forgotten music of the contemporaries of great composers.
Living in the shadows of Beethoven, Mozart, and Chopin, were their contemporaries, and often their own students. But since they didn’t find the same kind of fame or reputability as the great composers, their livelihoods were often made from teaching.
Teaching piano back then was different. It wasn’t the “turn the page” method-book kind of piano lessons we see now. Instead, the teachers wrote their own music for their students. And a lot of that music survived and was published.
It is beautiful, interesting, high-level music. It sounds like Beethoven and Chopin and others.

Composers like Thomas Attwood (who studied with Mozart!), Carl Reinecke (who studied with Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Liszt!), Alexander Gedike (Medtner’s cousin),, … and many many more!
This beautiful, accessible music can help you learn the same skills required for the masterpieces, but requires only a fraction of the time and effort.
So Remember! it doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or an intermediate player …
If you are looking for MORE out of your piano playing, then this community of practice is for you!
Sight Reading Secrets is your guide to the principles of literacy that result in successfully reading music. Get primed for your journey with valuable examples that can apply to every piece of music you will ever learn.
These principles will make or break how you enjoy the sheet-music experience at the piano. They will get you playing from sheet music in a fraction of the time it usually takes you now!

When you join Measure by Measure you get to enjoy monthly deep-dives on piano principles. I select a new principle each month based on what I’m hearing from members. I’ll explore it in my monthly masterclass sessions.
You’ll also get access the “back-issues” of previous months principle masterclasses.


Gentle, thought-provoking prompts each week help you maintain enthusiasm for the process. You’ll never have to suffer from anxiety about your practice - just apply this week’s prompt and discover how to put new practice principles to work.
Apply the principles in your own way to the music of your choice. If you have a busy week, just pick it up again with this week’s flexible challenge.
Connect with other Piano Readers!
Nothing is more encouraging than being around like-minded people having similar experiences.
Feel SEEN in this judgement free supportive community of learning.
Sometimes just hearing others voice their concerns and solutions they’ve tried can be tremendously helpful.

In-depth demonstrations for every measure of music. This is where we literally go “measure by measure” in the sheet music itself so you never need to feel lost or overwhelmed.
Download special engravings of the sheet music optimized for the learning process (it’s bigger and clearer for fingerings)
Download the mark-ups from the videos as a way to practice each phrase separately.

I love this music and the principles of practice and I want you to experience that too!
Why I care about this anyway …
Piano has always been my safe “sandbox” of experimentation. It’s where I can play and experiment with no risk and no fear. But there’s a misconception about sheet music that I want to debunk - it’s that classical music is boring, or that sheet music is constricting.
It can be experimental. It can spark improvisation. It has inspired my own creative songwriting and I believe it can do the same for you, no matter what genre or type of music you like.
If you want to successfully claim piano as YOUR thing, it has to become part of YOUR lifestyle.
I designed Measure by Measure knowing that we’re all doing it a little differently, showing up in our own ways.
