About this listen

In this episode of Band Director Boot Camp, Lesley Moffat sits down with Don Crafton, founder and CEO of Sight Reading Factory, to explore how this innovative platform helps band directors save time, reduce stress, and build stronger music literacy in their students.

Don shares how his own frustrations as a band director led him to create a customizable, algorithm-based tool that allows for fresh sight reading exercises every time. You’ll learn how Sight Reading Factory:

  • Eliminates the chaos of paper sight reading materials
  • Makes daily sight reading realistic and time-efficient (even just 5 minutes!)
  • Offers auto-assessment and instant visual feedback for student growth
  • Supports differentiation, SPED, and ELL learners with built-in data collection
  • Reinforces concepts alongside method books—even for beginners
  • Provides powerful data for teacher evaluations and administrative conversations

Whether you're new to tech or a seasoned pro, this episode will show you how to use sight reading not just to prep for performance, but to foster independence and confidence in every student.
