I teach the notes on the bass, the notes on the staff and reading rhythms as separate curriculums. There's not even a need to tell the students that it's leading to being able to read music. I teach reading rhythms in a unique way.

Also, one of the best ways to work on reading music is to write it. Like with English, it's impossible to not be able to read a sentence that you wrote.

I wish I could have read this 15+ years ago, when I started...

Hey Anthony,
Great responses all around. Jitters always happen when a piece of paper is put in front of me. Usually the musicians who do this expect that a site reader is in there presence.( NOT TRUE ). Usually I'll ask the guys to play it thru once, just to get the groove. It usually gets me thru.
But, kudos, best readers are truly the fastest listerners. And fretboard knowledge is key. still working on the program you gave me.
But i find it takes time and repetition and that in of itself. No real magic pill folks just doing it everyday.

No, not yet. I meant the lesson on reading music I posted this thread.

I just lost my concentration after seeing those pics. I can't see notes, count, or transcribe. Halle is definitely a Berry.
