Tired of struggling to read music or don't know where to start?

  • Does it take you forever to read one page of sheet music?
  • Have you tried playing before only to lose focus, hope and joy?
  • How would it feel if you could easily play any sheet music you see the first time?

You're not alone: I couldn't read a level ONE sheet of music after 13 YEARS of piano lessons!

Hi, I'm Lara, founder of www.larasmusic.com, where my motivational style teaching inspires pianists of all levels to become the musician of their dreams, and... 

I know what it’s like.

You listen to a song and absolutely love it. You have a dream of wanting to play piano some day and know a thing or two about it. Then you look up the song’s sheet music, print the first page, and try to play it.

No. freaking. progress. after. three. hours. Or maybe you get through the first 7 notes.

Told you I know what it’s like. I’ve been there.

I couldn't easily read a level one sheet of music after 13 years of lessons. Thirteen YEARS!!!!! That means I made mistakes and had to actually stop in the middle of trying to read a very short piece that had only a few notes.

And it FRUSTRATED me and slowed me down beyond what you can imagine. I accepted it and thought, “That’s just how it is, I guess. Some people are really good at sight-reading, and some just aren’t. Oh well.”

And that's how I carried on with my piano life, spending precious time practicing the things that I knew deep down were not really progressing my skills or taking me...anywhere.

I even went through a phase... a LONG phase, where I'd spend HOURS a day learning new music, yet my sight-reading skills did not progress what.so.ever. It doesn't even make sense.

So how is this possible? How can someone spend HOURS a day doing the very thing they want to get better at, yet not progress at all? It's confusing. But I soon found out that my practice techniques were all whacked out. I didn't know what to practice. Though I had been taking years of lessons, that didn't seem to help me much when it came to really understanding music and being independent of my teacher. I had come down with what I call "Monkey Syndrome."

Monkey Syndrome is when, instead of truly understanding the building blocks of music, you just keep repeating what you know and keep memorizing lots of things without realizing how ineffective it actually is. 

Monkey Syndrome is likely the reason why YOU have been struggling with reading music. It's definitely been the reason why many of the students that come to me even after years of lessons still can't read music well. I once had a student come to me after over eleven years of lessons and he was unable to read a piece that was only nine single notes long. 

Monkey Syndrome can also be when you simply copy your teacher without genuinely understanding what he or she is doing. This is the case in the vast majority of lessons available on YouTube or anywhere else online, when you're trying to learn piano (an instrument and entire concept) by repeating one song (one small piece of music) over and over and over and over. At best, it's just not efficient. At worst, it's a time wasting dream-wrecker.

Avoid the Tragedy: Learn the basics of music first

I try to point out that learning how to play piano is very different from learning how to play a single piece or song. Anyone can learn how to play one song, or even multiple songs-- maybe even a monkey! The key is to truly learn the basics of music so that you have a foundation to build upon. This foundation will allow you to continue growing at a constant rate and avoid the pitfall of learning piece after piece or song after song.

I've got news for you: There is a better way to learn music...

Let's go back to my tragic story where we left off, when I was unable to read level one music and I was spending hours and hours a day learning new music with zero sight-reading progress. I am so happy to tell you that there is a happy ending, and there is hope.

Let's fast forward to years later when I got a job with a composer who began to teach me his invaluable pearls of wisdom. After learning and applying the strategies he taught, my life pretty much changed. I had found the answer to my greatest musical challenge. And now I’m sharing it with you.

As someone who wants to travel the world performing for audiences big and small, this was my answer. I’m now able to do what I had only dreamt of years ago before I learned this method, and that alone simply has no price tag. Now I can sight-read classical music. Yeah. Real, classical music. Like, you know, Mozart n’ stuff. If hear a new rock song that I like, for example, I can print the sheets for it, and learn it in minutes. It’s pretty cool. And if I didn’t think you could do it too, I wouldn’t have spent three years working on this program.

So, if you're ready to kick off your sight-reading or take it to the next level...

Introducing

THE SIGHT-READING SOLUTION

If you’ve ever, ever wanted to learn how to read music…

THE SIGHT-READING SOLUTION is for you. It is a course specifically designed for those who want to learn a simple way to read music and play the piano.

  1. Start from ground zero. We'll be starting right at the beginning, so you don't need to have any prior experience in music.
  2. Build your foundation. By narrowing our focus to only reading music, you'll be playing multiple pieces in the same amount of time that you’d normally spend playing one piece. 
  3. Improve your sight-reading. Learn the correct way so you can practice smart, not hard. Learn HOW and WHAT to practice for ultimate growth potential, and get on your way to learning what you’ve always wanted to learn.

Learn to practice smart, not hard.

By the end of the course, you will know how to read basic music and have the tools to continue advancing your reading skills on your own. NOTHING taught in the course should fall through the cracks–the program is designed that way. You will have learned more than a book’s worth of primer level pieces and be well on your way to learning an endless amount and continuing to progress at a steady rate.

This is a tried and true method I normally use to teach my students during the first 8 weeks of private instruction at a fraction of the cost. Purchase confidently with my 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. Take up to 7 days to explore The Sight-Reading Solution and if you don’t absolutely love and benefit from it for ANY REASON, you will get a full refund. No hard feelings.

What have you got to lose?

Additional benefits of The Sight-Reading Solution

Most online piano lessons do not really teach you how to read music. They brush over the concepts and go on to show you how to play one piece at a time with their hands on-screen. This doesn't allow you to practice your sight-reading skills—the very skill that enables you to play any music you like the first time you see it. Most courses try to cover EVERYTHING and unfortunately rarely impart lasting skills. Instead of trying to cover everything, we’re focusing only on the basics of reading music, and it’s more fun than you can imagine!

The Sight-Reading Solution focuses on ONE thing: teaching you how to READ MUSIC.

By focusing ONLY on reading the music, you are able to play multiple pieces in the same amount of time that you’d normally spend playing one piece. Because the focus is so narrow, you WILL learn, once and for all! No complicated scales, chord progressions, arpeggios or crazy technique exercises that might confuse you.

NO PRACTICE REQUIRED. In fact, it is highly discouraged. When you’re trying to perfect a piece, you need tons of practice, but if you’ve never had proper training in piano before, what do you mean practice?! You don’t know how! Practice makes permanent. Whether it's proper practice or not. Students develop horrible habits on their own and don’t have a private instructor to tell them what they are doing wrong. Then they practice, practice, practice and get discouraged at their slow progress. This is one of the KEY reasons why many online piano lessons (and piano lessons in general) are not effective and I have done everything in my power in this course to avoid the formation of bad habits.

You will LEARN HOW TO PRACTICE the correct way so you can practice smart, not hard. Only 10 minutes of proper practice supersedes hours of ineffective practice. Sounds cuh-ray-zee but, it's true. Learn how to practice and what to practice so you can finally learn what you’ve always wanted to learn.

What People Are Saying About The Method

John Doe UI/UX Designer

"I truly believe that anyone can learn with her method." 

"I never thought that I'd be able to play a keyboard, let alone read music. Having a specialized time where you dedicate an hour of your week can make a huge difference between learning how to play in a year (by yourself) versus doing it in just a few weeks with an amazing instructor.Thanks to Lara's patience and unique approach to teaching music, I am able to look at a sheet of music and actually know how to play it. I play the guitar and have been self teaching for about two years. Having an instructor to guide through the basics in a formal and organized manner would have diminished the learning curve. Sign up. You won't regret it!" 

Daniel Romero
- Student

"Now I feel like nothing in the world of piano is unconquerable."

"I recently had my first recital (something which I never imagined I would be able to do). I was shocked that I was able to learn a piece and play it in front of strangers in such a short period of time. But the practices Lara teaches made it easy. I didn't worry about memorizing the piece because she doesn't just teach how to play songs, she teaches how to understand the music. She didn't have me play the same song over and over again, she teaches the fundamentals so you can painlessly learn and practice, even on your own."

“Passionate instructor + Revolutionary method = Best lifetime value.”

"Lara's specialty sets her apart among piano instructors. Her teaching method focuses on getting students to learn rhythm and sight-reading. While it sounds basic, it is really the foundation of music. By focusing on these skills first, it enables the student to do so much more over time. Mastering the ability to sightread alone empowers me to learn any new sheet music, and not quit in the process because I got overwhelmed or frustrated... 

I am 30 years old and took 3.5 years of various music courses during my schooling, including violin, guitar, percussion, and piano. None of my previous instruction ever set me free in the sense that I could go pick up some random, unfamiliar sheet music, and learn how to play it in minutes on my own. That's where Lara's lessons have been different. Despite only going to Lara's lessons for 3 months, I feel like I could learn any popular music song on the piano in a single day--eat your heart out Maroon 5!

It's been a great experience so far and I look forward to continue my progress. Another benefit of her method is I will be able to learn how to sing and play simultaneously--something I never believed would be possible for me!"

The Proof is in the Pudding....

John Doe UI/UX Designer

“I am surprised that I am able to read and play the notes...”

"Patient, kind, and personable are traits that describe Lara. She is currently guiding me through the piece, “Two Minuets” by Mozart and I am surprised that I am able to read and play the notes. I could not imagine myself playing the piano four months ago. However, here I am today getting ready for my first piano recital. I couldn’t see myself training with any other piano teacher other than Lara. She is one of a kind and she truly cares about her students. If you are looking for a piano teacher who is dedicated and experienced, see Lara. You will not be disappointed."

Lana Huleis
- Elementary School Teacher

"One could not ask for a better teacher."

“Lara’s love for the piano and her resulting passion show through in every aspect of her teaching. I’m a crusty old guy who can play some piano but who’s always wanted to learn to play right. Lara took me to a child’s beginning steps, and like a drill sergeant was merciless in getting me to break my old habits and learn it right, withstanding my whining with the patience of a saint. When breakthroughs came, she cheered me on, and moved to the next step, bit by bit. She is a master of the instrument, and unlike many masters, knows how to teach. One could not ask for a better teacher."

About the Instructor

After overcoming some obvious musical obstacles and seeing how the discovery of an incredible method transformed my growth as a musician, I became extremely passionate about sharing this process with all those who have experienced a similar struggle. 

I'm a huge believer in making dreams reality. After graduating college and dealing with a number of lame jobs, I fearlessly jumped at the chance to create my dream life and started to perform and teach piano. My teaching today incorporates not only music education, but life lessons and motivational coaching. Music has changed my life in various ways and it is my joy to share what I know with my students.

Think about...

Hiring a private piano instructor = at least $400 for 8 weeks + chances of them really teaching you how to sight-read = slim.

Reading a $10 book on sight-reading = hours spent and no structure to learn from, no videos to guide playing correctly.

Watching instructional videos on YouTube = learning how to copy hands on a screen as opposed to actually learning the skill + hours of time wasted that could’ve been spent on learning a method with structure that actually works.

Taking no action at all = Yet another chunk of life gone by without commitment to something you’ve always wanted or dreamt of doing + hours wasted on dreaming instead of learning + looking back years later and wishing you had started then.

 FAQs 

I’ve never played a note in my life. Is this course right for me?

How much instruction is included?

Do you recommend a specific lesson schedule?

Is this course only for beginners?

What should I expect to be able to sight-read by the time the program is over?

You say that practice is not required and even discouraged throughout the program. Are the video lessons really enough to teach me?

What if the program is just not what I expected?

What if I already know how to read music but just want to get better?


P.S. If you've ever wanted to learn how to read music or improve your sight-reading ability, I wouldn't wait another day. The price of my program may go up the next time you see it.

I’ve taught countless new and beginner students how to read music I couldn’t read after 13 years of lessons in just 5 months. I've taught intermediate and advanced students to leverage their existing skills to massively skyrocket their sight-reading skills in just a few months. I’ve gotten young students who used to complain before piano lessons to be excited for their lessons. I’ve gotten students who used to play like machines to play expressively. I’ve gotten students in tears of joy because they accomplished what were only dreams just months prior. I've gotten students who wouldn't practice at all to practice daily.

I. just. love. what. I. do.

And I need to share it with you.

This method works, and that is my promise.

Allow me the honor to be your piano teacher.

I'm very excited to meet you. See you inside.
