A Common Misconception About Reading Music

Jane's piano tutorials are for those who play by ear or follow the sheet music, with emphasis on the latter. Jane does not dole out individual notes. Those who cannot play by ear yet seriously wish to play piano, must learn to read music, in order to become independent.

A viewer's comment that echos many others

"I'm not trying to complain but I'm just trying to make a suggestion that your tutorials would be more helpful if you put more emphasis on what keys you are pressing. If people can read the music and play already than there is no need for a tutorial."

Jane's reply

"Many who do not read music share that misconception - that if one reads music, there is no need for tutorials. But that is analogous to saying once we learn the English alphabet, we no longer need English lessons! :)"
