Re: Getting away with sight reading

There is no way to predict the outcome of this audition. Wish for luck and you might get it!

There's lots you can do to improve the odds in future auditions though. Get a copy of Paul Harris's Improve Your Sight Reading (available at https://www.vcisinc.com.clarinetmusicalstudies.htm). Harris starts off near the beginning with practice in compound time. Get a book of first cl. parts to the Sousa marches; they're in a variety of time signatures. Work every day on practice books that emphasize counting and rhythmical exactitude. Some good ones are Paul Jeanjean 20 Progressive and Melodic Studies, Book 1 and 2, Pasquale Bona Complete Method of Rhythmical Articulation, and Hymie Voxman's Classical Studies (Bach in all his many time signatures).
