All of the stuff in Matts article is spot on. Playing duets or guitar ensemble music - whatever style - is probably the most 'fun' for learning to sight read.
Besides doing all those things at different times in my life these are few books that really helped me. http://www.amazon.com/Selected-Studies-Cla...y/dp/1423445252 http://www.amazon.com/Niehaus-Basic-Jazz-C...ception+for+sax (there's 4 levels of these) http://www.amazon.com/Selected-Studies-Rub...k+flute+studies (for reading ledger lines) http://www.amazon.com/Melodic-Rhythms-Guit...leavitt+berklee *(you'll notice this is the only guitar book I listed - guitar methods for reading are generally poor because they're geared to 'guitar' music - not general music ... which is what you generally read when you're required to sight-read) And if you're really feeling like a tough guy, this is probably the toughest/advanced sight reading book out there - http://www.amazon.com/Rhythmical-Articulat...ies+for+singers (nothing will throw if if you can read this book - seriously) -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
