About
This speed-reading book employs the standard techniques of language speed-reading, converted to music reading. The key ingredients are mental focus, physical eye focus, and quick fingers. The virtuoso, or the elementary player, can benefit from practicing these procedures. In 60 pages, one will drill in all possible finger patterns including half steps, whole steps, augmented seconds, and brief repetitions.
