    EXCELLENT JAZZ SIGHT-READING!
  

*by J***G on Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2018*

A strong book to improve sight-reading skills.  The parts gradually increase in difficulty.  The Jazz styles are authentic and the music is hip and interesting. No chord changes makes the reader concentrate on the notes and nothing but the notes!  A fine supplement to any serious bass student's curriculum.

    If You want to read bass notation, buy this.
  

*by G***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2013*

I've been a musician all my life. And there is one rule to reading music:You must read music... every day... forever.Here's the deal. It literally is a "use it or lose it" proposition. Let me explain. While you never "forget" how to read, you do quickly get rusty at it if you do not exercise it all the time. Like a muscle, if you let it relax too long, it gets weak very fast. So it is with reading.This book starts you out simple and easy, walking you into the reading of notation one step at a time, introducing the elements of notation, rests, ties, etc., as you go. The one thing you will have to do separately is learn the notes of the Bass clef, the lines and the spaces - and note values, along withy what ties, rests and triplets and such are - the only weak aspect of this book being the lack of a "Before You Begin" section to clarify this important foundation for reading music. But these are easily learned and committed to memory.The object is to read through each exercise only a couple times, and then move on. You DO NOT want to memorize anything - one of the great dangers of repeating a given exercise more than twice (and so you stop reading and start playing by 'rote' memory). Move to the next exercise. As long as you understand what you're reading, that's more to the point than anything. But you keep moving forward after just a couple passes on each lesson.If you get bogged down with understanding the whole idea of reading music... then this caveat is important:I teach music, too. If you are struggling with learning to read, or want to learn to read, take this advice: book a couple lessons with a good teacher and have them teach you the basics of reading notation. You'll get the materials you need from them and then, if you don't want to continue lessons, you can strike out on your own and apply what they taught you in moving forward in your quest in learning to sight read music.Once you have gone through the book, simply return to around page 26 or so and begin again. The point is to read. And it is helpful if you can find notated bass parts to song so you can read actual composed music, not exercises. Build a library of songs, but refuse to memorize them.The point of reading music is reading the music notation is essential as part of your regular practice and playing routine - regardless of your instrument. Every day.
