How To Blitz! Sight Reading 1

How To Blitz! Sight Reading Book 1 presents five sight reading concepts and a test in each of its 10 levels. Suitable for ABRSM and Trinity College London Piano Grades 1 & 2, by the end of Level 10 students will be well on the way to 'blitzing' the sight reading section of their piano exam, but most importantly they'll be having lots of fun along the way! Written by leading piano educator Samantha Coates and the director of Australian Music Schools Michelle Madder, How To Blitz! Sight Reading features ten levels with tests, brilliant exam hints, as well as key stickers and self rating systems - never before has there been such a fun sight reading book that actually makes students want to sight read. The BlitzBooks series has inspired thousands of young musicians to master music theory and sight reading. Samantha Coates created BlitzBooks to be easy to teach, and engaging for students. First published in November 2000, it has become the bestselling music textbook series in Australia, and is now available in specially designed versions for the main UK exam boards. Michelle Madder is the founder and director of Australian Music Schools, where she has developed and published highly successful music courses, for pre-schoolers through to adults. Samantha and Michelle have worked together for over 25 years and are both passionate about teaching the best way to develop sight reading skills.
