Publisher's Synopsis
Selecting music that is too far below one's sightreading level can be just as frustrating as selecting music that is too far above one's sightreading level. With the goal of having a repertoire of music that is within or close to one's sightreading level, just relying on trial and error in selecting music can be an inefficient use of time as well as costly.
This guide is a system that will allow you to analyze music before and after selecting it, as well as categorizing it appropriately. These measures will, ultimately, improve your sightreading skills.
This guide is divided into chapters that deal with one level of music at a time, beginning with the Preparatory Level and going through Level 10. At the beginning of each chapter, the "Basic Categorization of Sightreading Levels of Piano Music--Chart" is displayed and the particular level with which the chapter is dealing is highlighted in gray. The chart follows on the next page.
