Clarinet Sight-Reading 1

This method book teaches self-learning and recognition of rhythmic and melodic patterns through 195 carefully graduated pieces in a range of musical styles. Includes teacher/student duets. For beginners through intermediate players. "In the preface to Clarinet Sight-Reading I the authors make clear their overarching aim is to provide a structured resource, where students can learn to teach themselves the essential skill of sight-reading. Kember and Vinall set out to achieve this by arranging the book in a clear and logical fashion with each of seven sectins gradually introducing new material of increasing difficulty...The material they use is tuneful and places an emphasis on structure rather than abstract phrases. At the beginning of each section there are concise and helpful comments with simple language clearly directed to the student...This is a very well-organized and practical hands-on book that I would highly recommend to teachers and students alike."--The Clarinet magazine
