10 More Days of Sightreading for Full Band
This book is a sequel to 40 Days of Sightreading and it is intended to assist more advanced bands (specifically those who read Texas UIL Level IV sightreading) by presenting 6/8 time, Cut time and the key of Concert Ab. Basic Information: There are 10 pages of etudes with 4 etudes on each page. This is a unison method, so each instrument has the same etude. The first three pages are in the key of Ab Concert only. After that there is one etude in each of the following keys: Bb, F, Eb and Ab. The fourth etudes (.4’s) are more challenging and often abandon the criteria mentioned below. These are designed to push your students, and make the other lines seem easy. The etudes are not always in the same key order. I tried to mix it up to keep the students on their toes. There is also a rhythm sheet containing all the included rhythms. A score is not included. Just use a student’s part. Criteria Used: 8 measures Time signatures 4/4, 3/4, 2/4, Cut time, 6/8 Concert Keys: F, Bb, Eb, Ab Note
