The Sight Reading Drill Book Series is being updated with a re-organization of the key chapters and some new exercises. The 2nd editions of Levels 1A and 1B are complete and available on Amazon: the 2nd editions of Levels 2A and 2B as well as the Preparatory book are coming soon.
There are three levels in the series:
The Preparatory Level features melodic intervals, harmonic intervals, and triads/chords. Exercises are played on the white keys only, without clefs to encourage freedom across the keyboard. This book can be used for beginners to advanced players.
Level 1 contains drills in major and minor keys with zero to three sharps and flats. 1A introduces intervals of a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th; 1B introduces intervals of a 6th, 7th, and 8ve. These books are appropriate for beginner to late intermediate players.
Level 2 contains drills in major and minor keys with four to seven sharps and flats. 2A introduces intervals of a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th; 2B introduces intervals of a 6th, 7th, and 8ve. These books are suggested for intermediate to advanced players.
