Learning to read music is like learning to read Russian or Greek -- a different alphabet. I applied my method for foreign language learning to music. Learn in waves: push ahead but then go back and review -- but above all, sightread even slowly through whole pieces, and repeat them. Then do the same with a new piece and then go back to the former piece you sightread. I learned to play many pieces this way, and increased my sightreading skill immensly: Bach sonatas and Mozart's D major concerto on the flute; pieces by Brahms, Schubert, & Mendelssohn; Beethoven & Mozart sonatas on the piano. When I was in my 20s, if I stumbled, I had to remonorize the measure(s). Now, at age 71, if I start to stumble, I just look up at the score, and then my fingers hit the right keys. In my 20s, I could not do that. Little by little I mastered all those pieces. Even Beethoven's Appassionata, which I sightread (slowly at first), outside of my regular practice for a few years during the nights when I suffered insomnia. After a few years, it started to become easy, so I inserted the Appassionata into my regular practice rotation. Eventually, without too much effort, I came to play it at the proper tempo easily -- like a child who learns to talk without structured exercises.
That's incredible, I greatly respect you and sticking to piano as you have. It's truly an honorable and lovingly crafted instrument. I'm currently on my way towards graduation of high school (secondary school). I've been practicing piano for a couple months accumulatively. Hoping to take piano lessons from a designated teacher after school is done.
Thank you. But your background music is distractive..
Wonderful tips ! Tq very much for uploading !

Happy 800 Subs!
I enjoy your videos and learn a lot from your thinking. PLEASE respond or amend this video with a handful of suggestions for collections of graduated pieces to sightread, from very easy to challenging. I play piano much better than I can sightread. I am self-taught and sort of missed all the learning stages. On classical guitar, in contrast, if I can play it, I can sightread it. Please, suggestions.

I enjoy your videos but I don't like the weird digital/canned/techno music playing in the background. Can you play something else instead? Like ---- piano! Bach? Mozart? Jelly Roll Morton?
I know you were a gym bro!
