Harmonized Rhythms
Progressive Melodic Rhythm Studies
Charles E. Forque & James Thornton.
Harmonized Rhythms addresses the study of rhythm both melodically and with full
harmonization. One of the most common problems with bands is the lack of rhythmic
precision, and this book is your best answer for solving this problem! Your students
will learn rhythmic independence through the performance of 45 progressive four-
part harmonized melodies. Parts are interchangeable, providing you with maximum
flexibility. We think you will find it to be an excellent tool for improving your band as a
whole and your students as individual musicians.

A great resource!
The Sight-Reading Book for Band, Vol. 1
Jerry West.
The industry leader in sight-reading preparation! This effective and efficient curriculum to
develop sight-reading skills eliminates the need to retrieve music from the library, hand
the music out to the band, collect and reassemble it in score order, and file it back in
the library. Available in five volumes, each book provides 100 short pieces and saves
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. Volumes 1-4 are designed to supply material for an entire four-year
concert band experience without repeating any exercise. A proven tool for developing
musicianship and for the efficient preparation for sight-reading contests.

The Sight-Reading Book for Band, Vol. 2
Jerry West.
The Sight-Reading Book for Band, Volume 2 contains 100 short sight-reading
exercises, slightly more difficult than those in Volume 1, including more syncopated
rhythms, more meter changes and more use of sixteenth-note rhythms. The music is
arranged in such a manner that it can be adapted to a wide range of ensemble sizes
and instrumentation and is well suited for individual study. As with the other volumes in
this series, this second volume has proven to be an invaluable tool, assisting directors
with efficient preparation for sight-reading contests by allowing opportunities to focus
on sight-reading in class.

The Sight-Reading Book for Band, Vol. 3
Jerry West.
Consistent with the previous volumes that have been so successful, The Sight-
Reading Book for Band, Volume 3 contains 100 short sight-reading pieces of music
at the easy and medium-easy levels. The music can be adapted to a wide range of
ensemble sizes and instrumentation, yet is also well suited for individual study. With
the addition of Volume 3, it is possible to provide even more sight-reading exercises
so students will have a far greater number of new selections to sight-read without
having to repeat exercises.

Jerry West.
Volume 4 of this series contains another 100 short sight-reading pieces, slightly
more difficult than those in Volume 3, and includes more syncopated rhythms,
meter changes and more use of sixteenth note rhythms. Efficient, adaptable, and
appropriate for group or individual study, this volume completes a 4-year cycle,
making it possible to use a different book each year for a 4-year concert band
experience. A tested, convenient, and economical means to develop this very
important aspect of overall musicianship.
