Improve your sight-reading! Violin Grade 7-8 (2011)

The very thought of sight-reading,especially in examinations, makes most young players groan. But now more than ever, the ability to sight-readfluently is an essential part of the training of musicians on any instrument.

This workbook is designed to help overcame sight-reading problems, especially for violinists working for the grade 7-8 examination. Step by step it helps the player to build up a complete picture of each piece, first through rhythmic and melodic exercises related to specific problems, then by the study of a prepared piece with associated questions for the student to answer,and so finally to the real, unprepared sight-reading test itself. Mark-boxes for each stage allow both teacher and pupil to keep a check on progress.
