'Oh no! Not the sight-reading test!'
Now more than ever the ability to sight-read fluently is an essential part of the training of orchestral musicians on any instrument, amateur or professional.
Following on from the highly acclaimed series Improve Yous Sight-reading Grades 1-5, this new book is designed to help overcome more advanced sight-reading problems, taking the player up to grade eight level. Step by step it helps the player to build up a complete picture of each piece, first through rhythmic and melodic exercises related to specific problems, then by the study of a prepared piece with associated questions for the student to answer, and so finally to the real, unprepared sight-reading test itself. Mark boxes for each stage allow both teacher and student to keep a check on progress.
