John Kember Graeme Vinall: Clarinet Sight-Reading 1 Vol. 1: Clarinet:

A fresh approach-Clarinet Sight-Reading 1 aims to establish good practice and provide an early introduction to the essential skill of sight-reading. Sight-reading in some form should become a regular part of a student’s routine each time they get out the clarinet and this book aims to establish the habit early in a student’s learning process. There are 8 sections which in a logical sequence gradually introduce new notes rhythms articulations dynamics and Italian terms – much as you would find in a beginner’s clarinet method. The emphasis is on providing idiomatic tunes and structures rather than sterile sight-reading exercises. Each section contains several soloexamples beginning with only three notes and concludes with duets and accompanied pieces allowing the student to gain experience of sight-reading within the context of ensemble playing.
