Sight Reading and Rhythm Every Day - Piano - Marlais/Olson

$7.95

This series is designed to help students achieve an impeccable sense of rhythm which is the first step in successful sight reaching, and to develop their skills with key recognition, time signature recognition, pattern identification, interval recognition, and immediate response to articulation and dynamics.

These books will help the student develop an internal sense of pulse so that the underlying rhythm in a sight-reading example becomes second nature. This allows the student to concentrate on the other elements of music making. As the books progress, four-measure sight-reading drills for one hand progress into longer pieces for both hands. Students learn the concept of playing from beginning to end without stopping, and every unit ends with a teacher-student duet to reinforce the idea that when sight readers start to play, they do not stop.
