Re: Sight Reading Techniques

I have "The Progressing Clarinetist" by Leon Lester and also a book of clarinet and flute duets by Voxman. These are a step up from the stuff I worked with last year and are giving me a workout. I notice that they are mostly scales, thirds and arpeggios. This does help, but I'm not quite to the point of recognizing them in the pieces given out at practice. Perhaps a deep breath and a better look. (and more scales, thirds and arpeggios at home) All the advice given here is helpful. I also guess I'm quite lucky for the stream of free material that comes my way. They let me take the folder for the third clarinet home, but there is a card in my wallet similar to an organ donor card that says if I'm found dead this is to be returned to the band IMMEDIATLY!

It is interesting to see that the pieces I sight read last month are becoming old friends. Keep on keeping on. One thing that puzzles me though, is why doesn't everybody pick up an instrument? I'm having so much fun learning this stuff.

Thanks
