About
This collection of original tunes presents 193 carefully graded sight-reading pieces and exercises in a range of musical styles. Taking an approach based on self-learning, the 11 sections of the book focus on developing different key technical skills as well as introducing the student to a plethora of musical terms. Each section of the book contains solos, as well as horn duets and pieces with piano accompaniment for practising ensemble sight-reading. Suitable for preliminary, to advanced level students. Part of the comprehensive Sight-Reading series published by Schott and edited by John Kember.
