This book was released on 2013-06-06 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the economic perfect binding edition of this book. For coil bound edition go to lulu.com/shop. This book contains 354 sight reading exercises written for the piano. Each exercise is six measures long and stays within the five finger range of CDEFG in both the right hand and the left hand. The exercises go from simple diatonic melodies to unusual atonal counterpoints. These exercises were not written to be studied, but to be played through without stopping or practicing. The greatest benefit these exercises offer to sight-readers is practice reading two clefs at at time and practice reading counterpoint. Because the exercises remain within a five finger pattern, they are not too difficult to read and provide a good start before sight-reading more difficult materials.

Download or read book Large Print written by Robert Anthony and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-01-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Large Print' editions contain the same music as the 'Standard Print' versions: 300 Progressive Sight Reading Exercises. For printing and electronic delivery purposes, the large print editions needed to be released in two parts - each containing 150 of the exercises. Part 1 is comprised of exercises 1-150, and Part 2 is comprised of exercises 151-300. This most recent update includes a new cover design so that the 'Large Print' and 'Standard Print' versions are no longer confused for one another. While this book is intended to train sight-reading and aural skills, it may be used by beginners or those new to reading music to acquire basic reading skills. It starts at a very easy level and gradually introduces a new note, rhythm, or concept, and throughly reinforces them throughout the rest of the book. Preview and instructions will be posted on the Robert Anthony Publishing website.

Download or read book 300 Progressive Sight Reading Exercises for Piano Large Print Version written by Robert Anthony and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 162 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 train reading skills for both hands equally: Half of the pieces emphasize the right hand, the other half emphasize the left. The first 32 exercises isolate the hands while the remaining exercises combine them. For most of the exercises, the de-emphasized hand stays within a single five-finger position. Time signatures include 4/4 (Common Time), 3/4, 2/4, 6/8, and 2/2 (Cut Time). This entire first volume is in C Major or its relative modes. Key signatures, accidentals, dynamics, tempo, and expressive 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 play every fourth exercise or so - 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. If you want to work at your "break point" (the point in the book where you can no longer play musically), work on consecutive exercises. You should be reading different material from the book each practice. "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.

Download or read book 300 Progressive Sight Reading Exercises for Flute written by Robert Anthony and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume One is comprised of 300 progressive eight-bar exercises that cover the keys of C, G, F, Bb, and D Major. Time signatures include 4/4 (Common Time), 3/4, 2/4, 6/8, and 2/2 (Cut Time). Instructions and a free preview are available in pdf form at the Robert Anthony Publishing website. The exercises are all eight measures (two phrases, or one period) in length. While they are composed to be melodic and pleasant to the ear, they are also composed to be difficult to memorize, and utilize many rhythms that seem to be absent from other sight reading books. Next, 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 significantly easier to read. Finally, there are many correct ways to use this book. The instructions and a preview in pdf form are posted on my website so that I can update the instructions as I discover additional strategies. For example, I sometimes receive emails in which people tell me how they like to use this book. My opinions will evolve the more I use this book to train my students, so I want the ability to easily update the instructions as needed.

This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume Two starts out rhythmically simpler than Volume One ends, and then - of course - progresses to a more difficult level, adding dynamic markings, expanding the key signatures to C, G, F, D, Bb, A, Eb, E, Ab Major and their relative minor keys and modes, and adding the time signatures 3/8 and 9/8 into the mix. Instructions and a free preview are available in pdf form at the Robert Anthony Publishing website. Like in Volume One, the exercises are all eight measures (two phrases, or one period) in length.
