Sound Sight-Reading for Concert Band by Brian Beck, Scott Watson & Robert Sheldon
“Sound Sight-Reading” by Brian Beck, Scott Watson, and Robert Sheldon is part of the revolutionary Sound Innovations for Concert Band series. “Sound Sight-Reading” provides students with decoding strategies to help with reading music more quickly and accurately. Organized in six progressively detailed and expressive levels, each section introduces and reviews new notes, rhythms, time signatures, and other musical elements through a variety of performance material. The teacher’s score is packed with insights and ideas for musical games to help keep things fun and challenging.
Experience the many benefits of improved sight-reading:
* Maximize the contact time you have with students.
* Spend less time learning notes and more time learning expression, phrasing, balance, etc.
* Achieve better scores at festivals and other assessments.
