Download or read book 300 Progressive Sight Reading Exercises for Viola Large Print Version written by Robert Anthony and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS IS THE LARGE PRINT VERSION OF THIS BOOK: It was designed to be easy to SEE on a Kindle or for the vision impaired. The print is VERY LARGE on purpose. For the Large Print Version, the 300 exercises are broken down into two books. Part One contains exercises 1-150 and Part Two contains exercises 151-300. THIS IS NOT A METHOD BOOK. It is precisely what it says it is: 300 Progressive Sight Reading Exercises! 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). The remaining key signatures, additional time signatures, tempo markings and dynamics markings will be covered in future volumes. All of the exercises are eight measures long. Many sonatinas, jazz standards, and pop songs use "32 Bar Form" (A A B A), "Binary Form" (A B), and "Ternary Form" (A B A), with each section often being eight bars. Thus, eight measures (one 'period' of music) makes the perfect length for sight-reading studies in my opinion. How to use this book: Start where the exercises begin and work across the book - from exercise 1, 5, 9, 13 and so on until you get to a point where the music challenges you and then mark your ending point. The next practice, play exercises 2, 6, 10, 14, and so on... The next: 3, 7, 11, 15 and so on, and finally 4, 8, 12, 16, and so on. If you want to work at your "break point" (the point in the book where you can no longer play musically), work DOWN the page instead of across the pages. "These books differ from conventional 'methods' in that technical and theoretical instructions have been omitted, in the belief that these are more appropriately left for the teacher to explain to the student." - Bela Bartok, Mikrokosmos. I whole-heartedly agree with Bartok's sentiment and if music teachers would ask their students what they like least (or hate the most) about typical lessons, it is the method books that win this contest EVERY TIME. I have completely eliminated method books from my own teaching practice and have much happier and more productive students than ever. 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, but it assumes one either has a teacher or can at least find C on their instrument. It starts at a very basic level (only three notes) and adds a new note, rhythm, or concept every four exercises and thoroughly reinforces them throughout the rest of the book. Next, the music's composition is a slave to its function: The purpose of the books is to train reading skill, and the exercises keep challenging the range that has been established by previous exercises as well as less-than-convenient intervalic skips. They are composed from a 'music-first' perspective, as opposed to an 'instrument-first' perspective, and are purposely composed to be difficult to memorize. For example, the first exercises begin on C because they are in the key of C, and then go on to sometimes start and end on different scale degrees of the same key. Those familiar with the Fundamental Modes will likely recognize what they are hearing, but those unfamiliar with these modes will likely be hearing something that sounds a bit different, or odd, until their ears acclimate to these sounds. I see many students go through this process with altered dominants and augmented triads as well. Additionally, a 20th-century composition technique (Bartok, Stravinsky) - Serial Composition - has also been used on several of the pieces, so if your ears are unfamiliar with this type of music, you might at first be uncomfortable with what you are hearing.

Download or read book Sight Reading For Strings Viola written by Denise Willey and published by . This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sight Reading for Strings includes 115 studies in duet form, student and teacher for sight reading work at the lesson, ranging from open strings with quarter notes to complex rhythms in 14 different keys and several meters, some position work and double stops. Teacher plays with the student the first time, and on the repeat s/he plays the teacher's part and leaves the student to hold his own on the student part. Once the student has finished the book, he starts it over and plays the teacher's part all the way through the book.Teachers will appreciate the Wohlfhart duet etudes, which are extremely musical, but never familiar, so the student cannot play by ear as he is reading, as well as the broad range of musical signs not usually found in solo repertoire, including measure repeat signs, repetitive rhythm shorthand, and Italian terms, e.g., sul ponticello, con & senza sordino, col legno, sotto voce, and scores of others, D.C, D.S, Coda, and tempo and articulation terms and signs. Students should begin SRS once they have completed about 15-20 lessons in the Primer exercises or as recommended by their teacher, and continue after they finish the Primer, on through the Advanced Etudes and Advanced Rhythms.

Book excerpt: www.pianoworkbook.com The Sight Reading Drill Book Series is a step-by-step method for learning the tactile skills necessary for good sight reading at the piano. With regular practice, the drills will help students of all ages and abilities coordinate the visual patterns in the score with the muscle memory in the fingers. Once these patterns are familiar and automatic, reading new music will become easier and more enjoyable. There are three levels in the series: The Preparatory Level features melodic intervals, harmonic intervals, and triads/chords. Exercises are played on the white keys only, without clefs to encourage freedom across the keyboard. This book can be used for beginners to advanced players. Level 1 contains drills in major and minor keys with zero to three sharps and flats. 1A introduces intervals of a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th; 1B introduces intervals of a 6th, 7th, and 8ve. These books are appropriate for beginner to late intermediate players. Level 2 contains drills in major and minor keys with four to seven sharps and flats. 2A introduces intervals of a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th; 2B introduces intervals of a 6th, 7th, and 8ve. These books are suggested for intermediate to advanced players. For more information, to view sample pages, or to watch short intructional videos visit www.pianoworkbook.com.
