Welcome!
Don't get STUCK a slow note reader...
"Every Good....what was it again?"
I can't tell you how many students have come to me, struggling to read music after learning "traditional methods" from other teachers.
Sadly, many never make it to me. They spend $100's and months of music lessons, learning outdated methods, only to QUIT.
And then years later, they're left saying...
"Every Good...what was it again?"
Here's how The Note Reading Boot Camp 2.0 will help you
You'll Start From The Beginning
We start from the beginning to set you up for success. You will learn the foundations of music notation that all beginning musicians must learn.
Easy to Follow Videos
I walk you through the entire process with step-by-step videos so that even if you’re the most musically challenged person in the world, you’ll be able to understand. This course is done at your own pace, but I do push you (in a friendly way!) just enough.
Easy to Follow Practice Exercises
Most courses just teach theory and expect you to figure out how to implement it. Not this course. This course includes 3 types of well-thought-out, easy-to-follow practice exercises that will get you reading notes quickly.
You Don't Have to Go it Alone
Along with instant access to your course materials, you also get access to a community of other students via the discussion sections in the course, as well as priority access to me via email at any time, all for no additional recurring payments.
Free Upgrades
This course has already been upgraded once. I am continuing to take in feedback and make the the course the best it can be. Any future upgrades are included with your purchase.
Unlimited Access
You have access to this course forever. As you continue on your musical journey, you will always be able to return here if you ever need a refresher.
No extra work required.
Simply start at the beginning of the program and finish it to become a fast note reader.

WHICH FORMAT IS THE COURSE CONTENT DELIVERED IN?
Good question! The course materials are shared as video content, printable handouts, and a course workbook. So, whether you prefer to read, write, watch, or listen to the content, you’ll be covered.
PURCHASING THE COURSE
DO YOU OFFER ANY REFUNDS OR GUARANTEES?
Absolutely! You can email me within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.
THIS COURSE WOULD BE A BIG INVESTMENT FOR ME. IS IT WORTH THE PRICE?
I trust you to make the best decision as far as your finances go! What I will say is that the average price for a music lesson can range from $40 - $70 an hour for a quality teacher. Say you find a teacher at $50/hr, that's $200 a month in weekly music lessons. There's a very high chance that that teacher will teach you the suboptimal "Every Good Boy Does Fine" method. And even if he or she doesn't, you'll go much farther in a month with this program than what you'll learn in four 1 hour lessons. If anything, I'd recommend taking this course first, then going on to private lessons, it would actually save you money.
GETTING HELP
WHAT DO I DO IF I NEED HELP?
For questions about your billing or accessing the course materials, email [email protected]
If you have a question about the course material, you can get your questions answered in the comments section of each lecture or email us directly at [email protected] Students are a priority. All student emails get answered.
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS
COULD I JUST FIND THIS INFORMATION FOR FREE ONLINE?
You can find just about anything online these days, but does that mean it's actually valuable? The reason I created this course was because all the videos online were teaching note reading incorrectly. My YouTube video on The Landmark System has over 6 million views online for a reason. I see so many people in the comments saying how they wasted so much time learning the wrong method. Your time is valuable, learn the right method.
Additionally, information online is just that, information. This course is not just information, but a training program, thoughtfully designed, to take you from start to finish and end up a fast note reader.
CAN'T I USE AN APP OR SOFTWARE TO LEARN NOTE READING?
A note reading practice app or software can be a great resource! The problem is there is no structure, it's not a training program. The Note Reading Bootcamp 2.0 has a beginning and an end. You learn The Landmark System, then work through thoughtfully designed practice exercises until you're a fast note reader. It makes the process of getting good simple - just finish the course. This leads to my second point. By signing up for a training program, you're making a commitment to get good. There's a higher chance you will reach your goal than if you just downloaded an app and dabbled with it.
