Lumsden, Caroline & Hewitt-Jones, Anita: Right@Sight Violin Grade 1 (Book & CD)

Sight-reading is one of the most important yet neglected skills for any musician, and an important component of Associated Board and other music exams. Right@Sight for violin contains 80 pieces designed to help students master the art of sight-reading.

The pieces are carefully graded to help student's progression from one grade to the next. Guidance notes using the mnemonic TRaK (Time, Rhythm and Key) help students develop a disciplined approach. Duet parts for teachers to play along with their students during lessons encourage confident playing. The CD accompaniment to the solos has been provided to enable students to practice sight-reading between lessons. Each accompaniment on the CD is played twice, separated by metronome clicks which maintain the pulse.
