Robert,
I forgot to tell you one important thing. Continuous things are easier to learn
than discrete ones. When you are doing sight-reading, make sure that you do not
take your hands off the keyboard all of the time. To feel continuity think ahead
before you move your hands to the next note (cord, position). It could be very
slow, but it is efficient.

Vica
