It's essential to develop good sight-reading skills early on in a musician's journey. That's why we've revised our book to support ABRSM's Initial Grade, specifically designed to lay strong foundations at the most fundamental level. The book follows the proven and systematic formula of the highly acclaimed Improve Your Sight-Reading! series by renowned educationalist, Paul Harris.
Each piece in the book is approached in a step-by-step manner. Firstly, the student practices rhythmic and melodic exercises related to a specific technical issue. Then, they move on to prepared pieces with associated questions, before finally 'going solo' with a series of meticulously graded sight-reading pieces. This gradual approach ensures that the student develops their skills in a progressive and structured way.
To further aid their learning, students can access supporting audio online to check their performances against. With our revised book, young players can build their sight-reading abilities and set a strong foundation for their future musical pursuits.
