CLASSIC BOOKS ON PRACTICING AND SIGHT-READING

 

The Musician's Practice Log by Burton Kaplan

 

A completely new way to increase music practice effectiveness. The Musician's Practice Log helps a player put in more time on a regular basis, and improves the way that time is used. Best of all, it only takes five minutes a day to log in the information that gives each player a clear picture of his strengths and weaknesses. As a result, valuable insight is gained and improvement is inevitable. Music practicing is turned into a joyful skill instead of a sometimes happy accident.

(80 pages)
$10.95

The Musician's Practice Log is part of a well-thought-out system, and anyone can benefit from using it.

An innovative self-help system to enable the music practicer to learn and master sight-reading rhythm notation on their own. Using simple language, the Rhythm Sight-Readers define all basic rhythm values - including syncopation, ties, rests, & time signatures - and teach the evolving musician through step-by-step instructions how to sight-read rhythm notation on his instrument. "Understanding is doing" is the underlying philosophy of this unique method designed to stimulate creativity and musicianship. Each music sight-reading book contains numerous rhythm pieces to be played as duets or trios making A Rhythm Sight-Reader invaluable for both private and class instruction.
