300 Progressive Sight Reading Exercises for Violin - Paperback

by Robert Anthony (Author)

Volume One is comprised of 300 progressive eight-bar exercises that cover the keys of C Major, F Major, G Major, A Minor, D Minor and E Minor. Time signatures include 4/4 (Common Time), 3/4, 2/4, 6/8, and 2/2 (Cut Time).

While this book is intended to train sight-reading skills, it may also be used by beginners or those new to reading to acquire basic reading skills. It starts at a very basic level and adds a new note, rhythm, or concept every couple of pages and thoroughly reinforces them throughout the rest of the book.

Next, this book's focus is on establishing range and rhythm at a pace that gives each student numerous pieces from which to acquire solid reading skills.

Finally, I have made the staff font slightly larger than standard. While this will largely go unnoticed in the printed version of this book, it should make the electronic versions (Kindle, iBooks, etc.) significantly easier to read.
