Flute Sight-Reading 2 aims to build on the sight-reading skills learnt in book 1. There are five sections in increasing development. The emphasis is on providing idiomatic tunes and structures rather than sterile sight-reading exercises.
The exercises in Sight Reading Mastery are limitless and continually challenge, develop and improve your sight reading skills - however far you advance.
A beginning note-reading book designed for Suzuki-trained violoncello students who have learned to play using an aural approach, or for traditionally taught students who need extra note reading practice.
These easy-to-read, progressive exercises by Joanne Martin develop a student's reading skills one stage at a time, with many repetitions at each stage. I Can Read Music is designed as a first note-reading book for students of string instruments who have learned to play using an aural approach such as the Suzuki Method®, or for traditionally taught students who need extra note reading practice. Its presentation of new ideas is clear enough that it can be used daily at home by quite young children and their parents, with the teacher checking progress every week or two.
Position Pieces for Cello is designed to give students a logical and fun way to learn their way around the fingerboard. Each hand position is introduced with exercises called "Target Practice," "Geography Quiz," and "Names and Numbers." Following these exercises are tuneful cello duets which have been specifically composed to require students to play in that hand position. In this way, students gain a thorough knowledge of how to find the hand positions and, once there, which notes are possible to play. Using these pieces (with names like "I Was a Teenage Monster," "The Irish Tenor," and "I've Got the Blues, Baby"), position study on the cello has never been so much fun!
