Sight Reading Exercise...

Annie · 07-08-2008, 08:26 AM

Some of you might have seen this before...

For one of my units during my student teaching, I wrote a sight reading exercise. If anyone is interested in taking a look at it/possibly using it and giving me some feedback, go ahead and e-mail me. I put a ton of work into it, and it would be nice to see if anyone would actually find it useful.

It is a 14 page exercise. A run down is that it takes you through Major/Minor Keys while with each new key introducing a new rhythm while also keeping in touch with all rhythms already learned/introduced. It doesn't go through every possible key because I have it arranged to be played with all the major band instruments together at the same time, but the keys that it does touch on it works on interval recognition and places a lot of emphasis on recognizing thirds/step intervals.

Could it be played by Middle school kids? 1st, 2nd, or 3rd year players? If so, I would love a copy.

Thanks,
Steve

Somebody with more teaching experience would most likely know how to answer that better - my best guess would be the upper middle school kids - the advanced seventh and eighth graders. It starts off easy, but gets progressively harder. Send me an e-mail at heartswing17@yahoo.com and I'll send it to you - if you wanted the file packet for an entire ensemble, let me know, and I'll put it all in pdfs for you (I did a fair amount of research to make sure the ranges for all the instruments were appropriately not too hard, but if you do want the entire packet and find something might be better written in a different range, don't hesitate to let me know!)
