Case Study – READ AHEAD
READ AHEAD
Mobile Application Development
Johns Hopkins-Peabody Institute
OVERVIEW
For Classical pianists, the ability to sight-read is an essential skill. Pianists who sight-read fluently have more performance opportunities, learn music more easily, and are more effective teachers. To become good sight-readers, students need a large collection of pieces, graded according to difficulty, and a systematic method that will teach them to read efficiently and meaningfully, presented in an attractive, easy-to-use format that allows them to work on their own, and at the same time be monitored by their teacher. Read Ahead solves one of the most important, yet difficult, problems in sight-reading: how to make the eyes move in advance of where you are playing.
