David Hicken Music

Easy to read and understand, this book finally provides clear guidance on sight-reading. David's final words in this instructive work: "Now...Open a book. Take a beath. Begin. And let the music unfold", say it all.

The music composition is so riveting, exactly like the movie theme! David Hicken is not just a great musician but he is also extremely helpful & has excellent customer care! A blissfully satisfied customer!

good as usual

I really appreciate this sharing of years of experience and that it lays out the reality that practice - effective practice - over a long period of time is the key. No shirt cuts, but a reasonable path to success.

The challenge of this delightful piece is to keep a steady tempo throughout. Like Bach’s music, it looks deceptively easy but to keep the tempo steady, the notes clean, and still have good musicality requires real skill. I’m determined to learn it!!

I was surprised to see, how easy , your website is, for people (ilke me), with little experience about buying online .
Navigated and found the music sheet easily and the purchase completed smoothly in a few steps
As for the music piece, seems so easy when played by David but it is too hard for me. Of course I knew that before buying it, but i decided to do so, because i like the way, David plays the piano, and wanted to support him

I love the way this is written I am able to work on playing it
Love it!!

100 pages giving very valuable advice how to proceed in sightreading.
This instruction book is extremely helpful for all ambitious pianists who would like to improve their skills and work through new pieces faster.

This offers musicians a book that helps improve their playing techniques. The theory is excellent and has already provided me with new ways to improve my technique.

Sight reading is a real challenge for me as a beginner at piano, particularly with regard to reading ahead. So The Art of Piano Sight Reading was exactly the resource I needed at exactly the right time in my piano journey. Everything I need to understand about sight reading is clearly explained with lots of encouragement to keep going even when it, at first, appears beyond me. Thanks David

Love this piece so much! ... and it's also achievable for "normal people" like me. Give it a try - it's really worth it!

"Gabriel" is a piece that approaches you instantly... And it's not difficult to play!

When I discovered that David was accepting commissioned work, I didn’t hesitate for a moment. I immediately placed an order, asking him to compose a piece in memory of my Mom, who passed away a few years ago. I felt it would not only be a beautiful tribute to her but also a meaningful way for friends and family to celebrate and remember her.
As soon as the order was placed, David reached out to me, asking for as much information about my Mom as I was comfortable sharing. He also posed thoughtful questions about the kind of composition I envisioned—such as the key, style preferences, and more. However, I gave him complete creative freedom, believing that a true musician should let their heart guide the process.
I don’t regret this purchase and am eagerly looking forward to receiving the composition. Naturally, I can’t wait to start learning it so I can play it myself. Although David mentioned it would take two to four weeks, I assured him not to worry about deadlines. Knowing his incredible talent, I have no doubt it will be a masterpiece, just like all of his work.

My favorite variation, from one of my favorite pieces. I'm really enjoying playing it. Thanks so much!
