Reading Music Quickly Through Chord Analysis

Reading Music Quickly Through Chord Analysis: "'Reading Music Quickly Through Chord Analysis'

If you can scan a piece of music, and immediately recognize what chord is being broken up, your sight-reading ability will skyrocket. Why? Because you now see organization in the piece, not just a bunch of random notes on a white page.
In this course we use Bach's Prelude in C as an example, and we analyze the chord structure measure by measure all the way through the piece (you are furnished with a copy of the piece, of course).
Then you can use the techniques of chord analysis on any piece -- classical, pop, sacred, or whatever, to become a faster sight-reader.
