RE: SIGHT READING

I would recommend putting the rhythms as your first priority when looking at a new piece and reading it in time. This is good pratice when in a group setting, or preparing for a group setting.
There is an interesting book called "sight reading for dance bands" or something like that. It has a progressive method to approach sight reading with. If you can find this book, you're in business. If you can't, I'd read through what ever you can find, first taping out the rhythms, then singing the pitchs. Play the first tone of the melody on your horn, then try singing the rest of your way through it. You'd be surprised at how related sing and playing are. Good luck, let us know what works for you!
