The Next Step in Sightreading Development
Are you a band director or private instructor looking to add a supplemental learning tool to your curriculum? Look no further than C.L. Barnhouse’s Sightreading 201, the second book of this sequential series. This comprehensive method is ideal for students who are intermediate players with two to three years of experience under their belt and have completed the first book. Inside, you’ll find a series of short sightreading exercises that grow more challenging as the student advances. The book also contains competency sets made up of appropriate and relevant exercises focused on a specific musical element. Each set concludes with an assessment that allows you to track the student’s progress and plan for the future — a feature educators at Sweetwater's Academy of Music & Technology find especially useful. Upon completing this book, students will have amassed more confidence and technical skills necessary to sightread music for solo festivals, ensemble contests, auditions, and more, making it the perfect resource for a flourishing musical journey.
