"This course is really
amazing!"
This course is really amazing! Beginners and
even adults should try these. I recommend teachers buy it as
well since it has a lot of explanations and guidance on how to
help students read the notes faster and effectively. I was very
poor at reading notes before. I used to memorize every note the
teachers taught me in every lesson, but how long will it take to
memorize one whole song? That question made me decide to
purchase this sight reading course, I’m glad I did. It really
works!!!

"I Had Never Sight Read
That Well In My Life"
Thanks for your e-mail! I can't remember
if I had sent you an e-mail or not to tell you how much my piano
skills and knowledge have improved. But I also want to mention
how much you have helped my sight-reading!
You said that sight reading was like
typing on a computer - just read the words, and your fingers
should know automatically where to go. I knew I was a good &
fast typer, so I decided to look at the page differently. I
quizzed myself a short time with flash cards, then sat at my
piano & looked at the note pages to Moonlight Sonata (a song I
learned back in High School, but forgot the notes after that).
And then - suddenly what happened was
magical! The notes were all of a sudden coming to me. I could
recognize what they were, and my fingers were going in the right
place!
It was a short time and I played the whole song from beginning
to end without stopping! I slowed the tempo way down & sometimes
it was irregular, but it was just so I could figure out the
right notes first. But my fingers were hitting the right notes
all the way through - and I went all the way through without
hitting one wrong note! I plunked my way through the piece till
I ended it.
Towards the end of the piece, my mouth
dropped wide open - wondering what in the world was happening to
me.
I had never sight read that well in my
life.
Normally, in the past, I had always
"learned" the notes just to learn a song - then I would memorize
the finger pattern and forget what the notes were on the page.
But that night - was a crucial turning point. I felt that all
these years - I was breaking through a barrier that I had never
been able to break for years. I have always played by ear - and
I do it well - but my sight-reading had always been poor. Now,
it continues to get better and better all the time. I have
talked about you and have shared your name with other people
that I have talked with about my recently improved piano
playing.
Thanks again!

" What A Difference I Can See In My Sight Reading Now"
Oh Yoke,
Thank you so very much for taking the time to put all of this musically
empowering information into a course format that is so easy to understand
and learn from. I agree with your stance that practice is so very important,
but was never using my practice time wisely. You have enlightened me on the
best ways to use my precious time when I do practice....and the results are
fantastic. To think that all these years I've wasted so much time learning
different pieces—purely out of ignorance.
Sight reading has always been difficult for me, but what a difference I can
see in my sight reading now. I'm so excited about where I see myself going
with my piano playing.
I would like to say that your service is outstanding and that I'm looking
forward to saving my pennies to get my hands on the Jazz course and the
Christmas course. I believe that these courses are an investment in my
playing and I know that my three young children will have the benefit of
this material right from the start.
THANK YOU, YOKE WONG.

"I Now Can
Identify The Notes In Between Treble Clef And Bass Clef"
Hi Yoke, I watched your DVDs 3 or 4 times
already. I really feel that you did a great job by making this a shorter way
to learn piano and read music..! I now can identify the notes in between
treble clef and bass clef...Excellent work Yoke.
Thanks & Best Regards

"I’m
excited to see the improvement this is bringing to my playing"
You have no idea how wonderful it is for me
to be able to read music, hesitantly to be sure, but my fingers
are actually finding the keys, and this is after only a week of
carefully going through your material. I’ve actually sat and
played a piece I’ve never heard before by sight without having
to pick at the keys. For years I’ve felt completely illiterate
at the keyboard and actually wondered if it was some form of
dyslexia. Now, I’m actually singing the notes out as I see them;
my hands are going to just the right place, and I’m just so
happy and thrilled I can’t wait to keep on learning. The other
course I’ve been working on, which has given me a great deal of
pleasure, is the rhythm course. I’m excited to see the
improvement this is bringing to my playing. A few hours of
“technical work” a day just flies by, and I’m sorry to have to
stop playing! I’ve never enjoyed my piano lessons more, and I
wish I’d learned like this when I was younger.
Thank you!

"Since
purchasing the sight reading course, I have become much better
and faster at recognizing notes and chords"
I took two years of music theory, yet I still
felt inadequate. However, since purchasing the sight reading
course, I have become much better and faster at recognizing
notes and chords. More than that, this course explained the
reasons why I should consider analyzing a new piece of music.
It’s so much easier to learn that new piece. Yoke Wong stresses
the importance of practicing and constant review. All the
advantages are just too numerous to mention here. I recommend
this course to anyone who wants to improve his or her
sight-reading skills.

"The
sight reading course is certainly a lot of great information for
the money" Yoke Wong and her
staff are truly the kind of professionals one would like to deal
with in all businesses. I have had to phone and email for
information several times, and the response was pleasant and
timely. Also, the sight reading course is certainly a lot of
great information for the money. A great value. The sheet music
exercises and the CD computer exercises are so very helpful for
a beginner or for someone like me who is weak in bass clef
reading. What a blessing to have found this Web site. I am
looking forward to reaching a point in my studies when I will
have eliminated my present weaknesses enough to order additional
courses.
Thank you all.
