Oclef Daily: EP28 - Reading is key

Why does sight-reading account for such a small amount of
practice and lesson time? What if sight-reading was more than 50%
of the time early on for piano education? Growth and development
would be slow in the beginning, but it could be 100x the rate of
development in later years simply because the students could be
more efficient, learn faster and expose their minds to more
music.
