My own musicianship has been revolutionised by Music Learning Theory and specifically by Music Moved for Piano with my own teaching. The traditional model of learning to read at the same time as beginning everything else for an instrument is so deeply ingrained - but, for example, we don’t think that babies should be reading letters and books whilst they are learning their mother tongue. So why do we do this for music learning when music and language acquisition are so similar?

Yes! This has also been my big realization. It is changing the way I am teaching.

Sight reading is overrated? I like the whole idea of audition, but the sight reading is very important.

To clarify, the word is "audiation" rather than audition. What's cool is that sight reading is not truly encountering something for the first time. In itself, it is not a real skill. Here are Gordon's words from the 2012 edition of Learning Sequences in Music (p. 120): "Without audiation, notation can reveal little. Notation assists only in recalling what has been already audiated. Recalling in audiation familiar patterns seen in unfamiliar music allows musicians to engage successfully in what is mindlessly referred to as sight reading."

Throughly enjoyed this discussion. As Marilyn’s piano technician and friend, she’s very much missed with her passing. I’m happy to see her and hear her again share her thoughts on piano teaching and performing

Yes, missing her always, and it's so lovely to run across this video.

I agree that note reading and sight-reading are just as important as audition and internalizing the music. One cannot exist well or fully without the other in order to make a well-rounded musician.

I guess it depends what you mean by "well-rounded." With Music LearningTheory, sequenced learning of patterns comes _way_ before reading, and students learn reading much later in the sequence. However, I believe they are well-rounded musicians before and after they learn to read. The benefit of learning to read notation much later is that, because students have already been audiating and performing all these rhythm and tonal patterns, notation comes much quicker.
