300 Progressive Sight Reading Exercises for Saxophone (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781505887068)

Volume One is comprised of 300 progressive eight-bar exercises that cover the keys of C, G, F, Bb, and D Major. Time signatures include 4/4 (Common Time), 3/4, 2/4, 6/8, and 2/2 (Cut Time).

While this book is intended to train sight-reading skills, it may also be used by beginners or those new to reading to acquire basic reading skills. It starts at a very basic level and adds a new note, rhythm, or concept every couple of pages and thoroughly reinforces them throughout the rest of the book.

Next, this book's focus is on establishing range and rhythm at a pace that gives each student numerous pieces from which to acquire solid reading skills.

Additionally, some fundamental pages on scales and rhythms have been included for convenience. The scale pages are the only place in this book where the note names are embedded in the note-heads and courtesy accidentals are shown.

An instructions and preview pdf are available for download at the Robert Anthony Publishing website.

Instructional videos will be posted as they are created below the picture of this book on the aforementioned website. There is an email link on my site that you may use to offer constructive criticism or to ask questions. While I get a fair amount of questions, as of this writing I have been able to personally respond to every one.

Finally, I have made the staff font slightly larger than standard. While this will largely go unnoticed in the printed version of this book, it should make the electronic versions (Kindle, iBooks, etc.) significantly easier to read.
