The Band Fundamentals Sight-Reading Book is designed to build the performance and sight-reading skills necessary for grade 3 band literature and beyond. There is no other book like it. It goes to the heart of what students need by presenting learning exercises for the types of rhythmic figures found in advancing band literature. Starting with basic rhythms and building more complex tied rhythmic figures is an essential feature of this book. The exercises are short and clear. Students will develop a stronger concept of how to apply important principles to any rhythmic situation. Throughout the book many helpful fingerings are attached to the scale and range building exercises. Included are seven major keys and constant chromatic reading exercises.
