Part of the Essentials of Musicianship series, Sight-Reading Builders for Developing Bands presents 14 short pieces to help students learn this very important, but often under-practiced, skill. The pieces are arranged in progressive order of difficulty and explore a variety of styles, tempos, dynamic contrasts, key changes, and changes in meter. Students will be appropriately challenged through all the early grade levels, and conductors will find this collection makes it easy and convenient to practice this essential musical skill.
