Summary of This Method
Designed to learn to read musical notes in a thorough and progressive way, this method is suitable for both children and adults. It is perfect for beginners who want to acquire solid reading foundations, as well as for already initiated musicians wishing to improve and gain fluency.
The core work is based on relative interval reading. The organization is particularly structured and graded: progressing step by step from the second up to the octave, consolidating the recognition of distances between notes rather than limiting oneself to "note by note" reading. This approach makes reading faster, more musical, and more reliable, while facilitating adaptation to different notations.
The progression alternates between horizontal reading (melodies, sequences) and vertical reading (note stacks, chords, polyphony). This dual approach allows for a genuine understanding of the musical text, useful both for monophonic instrumentalists and for those approaching richer textures.
In a second part, the method offers more targeted pages, with specific references for piano reading and guitar reading. It also addresses ledger lines, often a source of hesitation, as well as the process related to the particularity of transposing instruments, to better understand and anticipate notation differences.
Finally, each series of exercises is extended by musical excerpts from the repertoire corresponding to the concepts worked on. This direct link between practice and real music fosters motivation, develops the inner ear, and helps firmly anchor reading reflexes (solfège, note reading, clef reading).

The work focuses on identifying the distances between notes rather than reading note by note. The exercises cover intervals from the second to the octave and develop reading reflexes.
Are there exercises for reading chords and polyphony?
The method alternates between horizontal reading of melodies and vertical reading of note stacks. The latter approach deals with chords and polyphonic writing.
Does Dominique Millet's Lecture De Notes contain references for piano and guitar?
Targeted pages are dedicated to reading for piano and guitar. The book remains intended for all instruments, within the framework of musical training.
Are ledger lines and transposing instruments addressed?
