Thanks - that's the kind of stuff I was talking about - specifically with the Starer book, which will be on order soon after I finish this post.

For the last week or so I have been reading just about everything I can get my hands on in the house, mostly things that I either have never seen, or things that I haven't played or read in a long time. The purpose for this is so that when I do the sight reading part of my college audition in a couple of weeks, my reading is better than it has been, however, my reading has always been one of those things that could be improved upon, but that I have never specifically worked.

Somewhere along the line was the mention of scales and arpegios - to be quite honest, until the last month or so I have never even had all of my major scales solid. I had most of them, but there were always a couple, C#, F# and B to be specific, that were always hit or miss.

Now that I'm preparing to go back to school for music, I want to really focus on the areas of my playing that have always been weaker, and sight reading is right up toward the top of the list. That's why I used the "Search" feature and found this old thread. :)
