(Misc). This method book teaches self-learning and recognition of
rhythmic and melodic patterns through 195 carefully graduated pieces in
a range of musical styles. Includes teacher/student duets. For beginners
through intermediate players. "In the preface to Clarinet Sight-Reading
I the authors make clear their overarching aim is to provide a
structured resource, where students can learn to teach themselves the
essential skill of sight-reading. Kember and Vinall set out to achieve
this by arranging the book in a clear and logical fashion with each of
seven sectins gradually introducing new material of increasing
difficulty...The material they use is tuneful and places an emphasis on
structure rather than abstract phrases. At the beginning of each section
there are concise and helpful comments with simple language clearly
directed to the student...This is a very well-organized and practical
hands-on book that I would highly recommend to teachers and students
alike."-- The Clarinet magazine
