Joining the Dots offers Pianists lots of material to help build confidence and skill in sight-reading.
The eight books cover the requirements for ABRSM’s sight-reading tests at each of Grades 1 to 8, and include:
- many short, characterful pieces to sight-read, in a range of approachable musical styles
- warm-up and technical exercises, to establish basic hand shapes and finger patterns within each key
- simple musicianship exercises in which students can explore ideas and familiarize themselves further with the ‘feel’ of each key
- longer solo pieces and a duet, for additional sight-reading practice or to learn quickly and play through for fun
