The Sight-Reading Book for String Orchestra
(Revised edition)—Jerry West. The Sight-Reading
Book for String Orchestra contains 100 short pieces
designed to allow groups to sight-read at every
rehearsal without having to sort loose music, hand it out,
and collect it after rehearsal. The music can be adapted
to a wide range of group sizes and instrumentation, but
is also well suited for individual study. An invaluable
tool to assist with efficient preparation for sight-reading
at contests or festivals. (This revised edition is not
compatible with the previous edition).

Sound Innovations: Sound Development for
Intermediate String Orchestra
(Warm-Up Exercises for Tone and Technique)—
Kirk Moss & Bob Phillips. Sound Development
emphasizes playing with a characteristic beautiful
sound. The components of producing this sound are
broken into four levels, consistent with the revolutionary
Sound Innovations structure: sound tone, sound
bowings, sound shifting, and sound scales, arpeggios,
chorales, and rhythms. The levels can be used in the
order that is best for your students, as individual warm-
ups or as structured units. Your students will learn
the proper use of the bow with the variables of tone,
the next group of bowings needed for intermediate
repertoire, and how to shift and play with vibrato.
These skills are reinforced with comprehensive scales,
arpeggios, sight-reading materials, rhythm exercises,
and warm-up chorales.
