Hello,
I have no plans to play on public, just like learning and playing the piano for myself.
I love synthesia and find it's super helpful, however I'm afraid that I'm making a mistake by relying on synthesia too much and not learning to sight read.
What I do is - I always learn a composition in synthesia first. And when I play it well with falling notes, I then hide falling notes and learn to read it from sheet music. So in the end I can always play the composition well from sheet music. This way I develop sheet music reading at least a little bit. But anyway it feels like I'm cheating, and if you give me sheet music for a new compositions, it will take forever for me to learn it.
Am I gonna regret depending too much on Synthesia and not being able to play a composition from sheet music right away?
