This week, I am sharing an excerpt from a live webinar I recently hosted breaking down how I actually use Sight Reading Factory in the classroom every day to build confident, independent musicians.
If you have spent any time around this show, you know I believe deeply in getting the piano out of the way and giving students the tools to decode music for themselves. But there is a massive difference between occasionally putting an exercise on a screen and building a systematic, daily routine that leads to true automaticity, AND serves the growth of the group and each individual. In this piece of the session, we dig into the nuts and bolts—from tailoring difficulty and using custom levels for changing adolescent voices, to structuring low-stress grading systems that build daily practice habits rather than test anxiety.
While this excerpt covers some immediately actionable strategies you can take straight into your next rehearsal, it is only a small slice of the full presentation. The complete, uninterrupted webinar replay—including the screen-share walkthrough of my exact backend settings, live whiteboard annotation techniques, and the full audience Q&A—is waiting for you on the paid subscriber feed.
To unlock the full recording and gain access to my complete library of music literacy resources, testing rubrics, and bonus content, head over to Patreon or Substack to upgrade your subscription.
Here on the main show, you are going to get some really good tips and suggestions for how to build progression, assessments and a class culture that thrives on growth. “How do we make reading music not stressful?” By getting good at it and not making it stressful. It’s all in the approach.
