Sight-Reading Book For Band, Books 1, 2, 3 & 4
Jerry West. Here's an effective yet efficient means to practice sight-reading on a
regular basis without having to retrieve music from the library, hand the music out
to the band, collect the music, assemble the music in score order, and file it back
in the library. It provides one hundred short pieces (average length is 25 measures
with a total of approximately 10 hours of sight-reading practice) while saving valuable
rehearsal time. For effective rehearsal planning an index is provided in the score with
key signatures, meters and primary rhythmic figures to provide assistance in creating
lesson plans. The music is arranged in a flexible manner so that it can be adapted to
a wide range of ensemble sizes with varying instrumentation. The exercises feature
various key signatures and meters, key changes, meter changes, accidentals, reversal
of rhythms, repeats of various types, hemiola, and isolation of various sections of the
ensemble. Emphasis has also been placed on dotted rhythms and counting of rests.
An invaluable tool in the efficient preparation for sight-reading contests by allowing
many opportunities to sight read in class using the smallest amount of time possible!
