Educational Value of Music
The How's and why's of music being of educational benefit. The benefits are far more diverse and widespread than you may have first thought.

What is Sight-Reading?
Sight-reading is a term that in my opinion needs clarification. In this article I attempt to delve into the meat and bones of a subject that fills most students with dread.

Preparing to teach Sight Reading
As a description of the teacher's role in the lesson I like the word that the Japanese use for one who teaches [Sensei - literally 'One who has gone before']. Learning music is a journey or a path. Remembering that we cannot teach what we do not know, to teach sight-reading we ourselves, as teachers must have already travelled that path to acquire understanding. Every teacher will be different and have various strategies that work for them, some more successfully than others.

Considerations and strategies. As teachers we must strive to accomplish our first goal, which is to treat every new pupil as an individual. We aim to cultivate lesson plans that are beneficial to the desired outcome, treating each student with respect and compassion. Pupils differ in many respects to each other.
