Book excerpt: Abstract: Sight-reading, the act of performing unfamiliar music at sight, is a valued measure of an instrumentalist's musical training and overall musicianship. Though sight-reading is recognized as an important ability, little is known about the process or how best to prepare students for sight-reading situations. Previous research has suggested the importance of rhythm, finding that most sight-reading errors are rhythm errors, and rhythmic ability is often a strong predictor of sight-reading accuracy. Related research has investigated a variety of approaches to rhythm instruction, including mathematical (numbers-based) approaches and speech cue (word-based) methods. Many studies have suggested that the latter approach may be more suitable to school-age musicians, especially younger students who may lack the conceptual understanding needed to grasp mathematical models. Other research has affirmed the importance of providing students with opportunities to respond individually and receive regular feedback from their instructor. The current study employed two parallel rhythmic instruction strategies in an effort to determine their impact on middle school band members' sight-reading performance. The control group reviewed rhythms using a previously-learned numerical counting system while a treatment group reviewed rhythms using an original speech cue method and performed individually at scheduled intervals. Sight-reading pretests and posttests were scored and compared to measure subjects' sight-reading accuracy. Results showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups on the sight-reading posttest. Mean scores for all subjects, regardless of treatment grouping, improved from pretest to posttest, including significant gains on pitch accuracy and total sight-reading scores. Additionally, important relationships were found regarding the interplay between pitch reading and rhythm reading during melodic sight-reading, suggesting that these processes present two separate and sometimes conflicting tasks. Overall results and an analysis of the scores of top sight-readers reaffirmed the importance of rhythmic ability in determining overall sight-reading accuracy.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine whether a music sight-reading program would affect the language reading fluency levels and music sight-reading abilities of students enrolled in band in middle school. Music reading and language reading share similar visual and aural tasks that are part of the essential decoding process (Hansen, Bernstorf, & Stuber, 2007). The sight-reading process in both types of reading also requires similar eye movements and the use of structural units for fluency (Sloboda, 1985; Register, Darrow, Standley, & Swedberg, 2007). Researchers have found that sight-singing can impact language reading fluency levels, but there is minimal research on possible connections between instrumental sight-reading and language reading fluency (Biggs, Dedrick, & Homan, 2005, 2006). The current study was undertaken to determine the effect of a sight-reading program on language reading fluency and music sight-reading ability. Two intact middle school band classes were randomly assigned to function as the experimental group and the control group in this study. Florida Department of Education oral reading fluency exams and the Watkins-Farnum Performance Scale, Form A and B for sight-reading ability were administered to all students (N=55) at the beginning and end of data collection. The experimental group experienced a 14-week sight-reading program during the interim. Analysis of Covariance was used to check for differences between the groups' reading fluency and sight-reading posttest scores using pretest scores as the covariate. No significant difference was found between the oral reading fluency posttest, F (1, 28) = .16, p = .69, scores of the control and experimental groups. No significant difference was found between the music sight-reading posttest level scores, F (1, 45) = 1.78, p = .19, of the experimental and control groups. A significant, positive correlation ( r = .61, p = .000) was found between the oral reading fluency and music sight-reading posttest scores of all participants.

Book excerpt: One of the most valuable skills musicians can acquire is that of being able to read at first sight all (or most) of the music they are asked to play.Sight reading is a skill that enables the student to make the most out of the time available to sing or play an instrument. The student can use the time otherwise spent on working out "rhythm" problems, to increase musicality and will be able to cover more literature. And every professional musician knows that the "musician who reads gets the jobs."It's also true that the better the members of any school or other musical group sight read, the better that group will sound. This is true for several reasons: First, more time can be spent on the development of other aspects of quality performing (sound, balance, intonation, and other general musicianship skills). Second, the time involved in reaching an acceptable performance level is less, so the music will naturally be more interesting to the performer. And this "freshness" willshow up dramatically in the concert or festival. Third, the director will now be able to use more rehearsal time to teach some of the things (theory, music history, conducting, composition, etc.) that he or she "just didn't have time for" previously. The more each student understands about music as a whole, the bigger their contribution will be to the group. Of course the greatest benefit will go to the individual student. The enjoyment of music will be enhanced considerably as a result of the skills gained in the reading of new music. It's been my experience that students, at a very young age (at least by the sixth grade) are capable of handling the concepts and skills required for effective sight reading. There are of course, several areas in which skills must be developed before a student will be able to sight read well. The skill I'll focus on in this book is rhythm. This book is an extremely effective method for helping students develop the ability to read simple and complex rhythms at first sight.The most effective way of developing the skill of instantly analyzing complex rhythmic figures is pulse subdivision. The difficulty most of us have had involves the material available to help us teach these concepts. Once the student understands what to do, practice material is needed that will help integrate each new concept into their bag of performance skills. Material is needed that will allow focus on a particular new concept without the distraction of other playing problems. Enough material is needed to avoid going over and over the same exercises. (The student can't learn to sight read if the material is familiar).The manner in which this method solves this problem is with many lines of "single pitch" exercises. These exercises allow the student to concentrate on developing particular skills without having to worry about changes in pitch, etc. There are also enough exercises so that by the time all of them are covered, the previous exercises are forgotten and can be reused if necessary.When used by instrumental organizations (bands and orchestras) or choral groups, choose a single pitch or octaves. Example: Concert FPiano students (who use their feet on pedals) can vocalize the: say 'down' on each quarter note and rest. Instrumentalists not using their mouths to generate sound can vocalize the pulse (percussion, strings, etc.). If fingers are available to generate the pulse (vocalists), use them against your leg or lap to generate the pulse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covers the division of measures including counting rest values as well as note values. A mistake in counting note values while playing is heard and corrected by the instructor, but counting rest values is a silent business and difficult at times for the instructor to detect just where the mistake was made, or who made the mistake. 101 Rhythmic Rest Patterns will help solve that problem, as the unison feature will enable the instructor and the whole ensemble to count aloud all in unison, on any or all rest patterns until each rest pattern is perfect.

This book was released on 2014-05-28 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sight-reading is one way for middle school band students to demonstrate musicianship. If the students are very good at sight-reading, then the level of musicianship is high. The researcher has created an organized module addressing methods of how to teach middle school band students to sight-read effectively. A working definition of sight-reading is playing a work of music accurately the first time it is seen by a performer. At the middle school level, performers must be able to play a steady beat, play accurate rhythms, demonstrate correct eye movements, and recognize patterns of notes to be an effective sight-reader. The students in this study were exposed to activities and lessons that addressed these four aspects of sight-reading. After the study was concluded, the researcher determined that the sight-reading abilities of the students increased. The students became aware of the skills necessary to be effective sight-readers. The most effective lesson of this study was the rhythm lesson. The least effective lesson was the eye movement lesson. The rhythm lesson allowed the students to become familiar with common rhythms, increasing their abilities to perform
