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.

Core Competencies for the Successful
Development of Sightreading Skills
Ed Huckeby.
A sequential instrumental curriculum designed for the development of
sightreading skills. Each volume contains an effective and easy-to-use
evaluation and assessment chart; a "constant eighth" concept for rhythmic
accuracy; competency sets that address each element of meter (time)/
rhythm, key signatures/scales, and pitch accuracy/intervals/arpeggios;
articulation/phrasing, tempo/interpretation/style, and dynamic contrast;
an assessment exercise at the end of each competency set; prominently
identified keys/scales/modes; optional repeats for element reinforcement
and extra practice; essential vocabulary; and flexibility within the percussion
line. Top and bottom lines can be used as a traditional snare/bass line or
any battery instrument may read either line (or a combination) to reinforce
subdivision, pulse, or full ensemble rhythms.

introducing new technical challenges, and can be used in conjunction with
any beginning band method. Students read rhythm theory and demonstrate
their understanding by completing worksheets, writing both melodic and
rhythmic compositions, and performing on their instruments.
