Playing Lead Sheets
About Playing Lead Sheets
For any instrumentalist ready to learn, this practical class will show students how to read and play from lead sheet music. Lead sheets are the main notation format used in musical theatre, songbooks, and jazz standards. They also show you the basic harmonic and melodic ideas that can be interpreted with some freedom by a solo instrument or ensemble. This class is designed for all levels of reading and playing proficiency; advanced students can practice voicing and improvisation during the class. Take the lead in your musical journey – see you in class!

Class: Reading Music: How to Improve Your Sightreading
My sightreading has improved dramatically in the 4 weeks we have been working together. Alan tailors his drills for the levels of students attending his class. Recommended!

Alan is a fabulous and enthusiastic teacher! He clearly spends a lot of time planning each lesson and presents the material very clearly in small doses! He also provides wonderful hand-outs and welcomes feedback and any/all questions. To sum it up: Excellent class and instructor!!
