The Sight-Reading Book for Better Bands
Jerry West.
Based on the best-selling series from Jerry West, this volume presents 50 original
exercises to challenge the wind band at a Grade 2-3 level. Longer etudes, 16th notes,
minor keys and a few modes can be found in this more advanced collection. This is a
fine way to prepare for upcoming adjudications and to build a sight-reading regimen
into the curriculum for wind players, as it complies with the NAfME National Standards
that define proficiency levels in grades 5-12. Creative, fun to play, and full of twists and
surprises, it will keep your musicians on their toes as it teaches independence and
musicianship through every section of the ensemble.
