QUOTE(Tequila @ Mar 10 2012, 10:23 PM)  Any advice on how to practice sight reading at the right level at home? Personally I really like the Paul Harris "Improve your Sight Reading" books, as they don't just involve doing sight-reading but learning techniques of how it's done. The clarinet volumes are multi-grade so not as useful as the violin and piano versions which have a whole book per grade. Often the early grades of sight-reading come together easily because there is not a lot involved rhythmically, but suddenly it becomes much more difficult at higher grades because the candidate doesn't have a structured approach, just looks at the music and launches in. I think setting the foundation of a structured approach is very useful. |

A quick update for my forum friends who have followed my daughter's journey.
It's a while since I popped in here.... This weekend she came 2nd in a very reputable local (ish) festival !! and her teacher felt she should have won. Very proud Mummy moment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clarinet.gif) G4 now on the horizon. Prep just starting. |
