Paul Harris, Improve Your Sight-Reading! for Violin Grades 1-8 (Book 7 applies to Grade 7 and Grade 8). Published by Faber Music.
Now more than ever, the ability to sight-read fluently is an essential part of the training of musicians on an instrument. This workbook is designed to help overcome the nerves that can cause sight-reading problems by giving sound technical advice and confidence boosting tips. Step-by-step it helps the violinist to build up a complete picture of each piece, first through rhythmic and melodic exercises related to specific problems, then by the study of prepared piece with associated questions for the student to answer, and finally to the real, unprepared sight-reading test itself. Check-boxes for each stage allow both teacher and pupil to keep an eye on progress.
“Die Alte Geige, The Violin of Bygone Days” offers a delightful journey through the music of early masters, featuring well-loved pieces for violin from Bach to Beethoven.
