Sight Reading Help

Author: Copland

Hello everyone!

I'm a 9th grade Clarinet player and I enjoy playing a lot. I have a private teacher and am also in one of the school bands. I've participated in several New York state honors bands, and have done quite well on several solo presentations.

However, I have one major pitfall: I'm very bad at sight reading. I've never been very good at it, but the more advanced my solos get, the worse I get at sight reading. Does anyone have some advice about how to get better? Would a book on Music Theory help? Should I be doing something special while practicing.

Just so you know, I'm at NYSMA level 6.

Thanks in advance!
