If you have poor vision or want this book to be easy to SEE on an electronic device, you might prefer the Large Print Version. Note: This book is also available in a LARGE PRINT version that for printing purposes had to be divided into two books. If you want to work at your “breakpoint” (the point in the book where you can no longer play musically), work DOWN the page instead of across the pages. For 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. ![]() How to use this book: Start where the exercises begin and work across the book - from exercises 1, 5, 9, 13, and so on until you get to a point where the music challenges you, and then mark your ending point. ![]() Thus, eight measures (one period of music) make the perfect length for sight-reading studies in my opinion. For example, 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. If one has done any study of formal analysis, they will find that eight measures is a typical ‘period’ of music and usually contains two, four-bar phrases (also typical in length). The remaining key signatures, additional time signatures, tempo markings, and dynamics markings will be covered in future volumes.Īll of the exercises are eight measures long. Time signatures include 4/4 (Common Time), 3/4, 2/4, 6/8, and 2/2 (Cut Time). 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. It is precisely what it says it is: 300 Progressive Sight Reading Exercises!
