Be honest…. Is this what your plan looks like?

Having an organized plan is the first key to be efficient, which is is the first stepping stone to managing your time, getting more done and spending more of your time doing the things you want to do, not what you HAVE to do.

Everyone has a plan. Some are bad plans, but everyone has a plan. If your plan for sightreading feels like the photo above then you probably don’t have the best plan.

If you are moving through stacks or files of paper and constantly trying to find a piece of music to practice keyminders, or sightread a song and struggling to find something that is at the level of your players (not to advanced, or to easy then you need to evaluate your plan.

Just think of how much time this is taking you, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly.

You should add it up.

When I teach time management one of the things I teach is a time journal. You’ll be shocked at how much of it you waste.

Re: sight reading tunes

Posted by Take a Look in reply to “sight reading tunes

The David Herring Sightreading Skillbuilders – I know he has level 1 and 2 and hear level 3 is coming out soon 

In response to:
“I’m looking for a book/packet/whatever of progressive sight reading tunes that stay on a certain level much longer. Most/all of the resources I’ve looked into start out super easy, but get too hard too fast. The 204 PSRT is the closest I’ve found, but even it changes meter in the first 5 tunes and changes key on the second page. I understand the reasoning for this. You want kids to read tougher stuff, I get that. But I want to do a bunch of sight reading, I’m talking 20-30 tunes at each level so that they are actually sight reading successfully instead of hitting #3 and brain-farting on the key or meter.
Short of writing out 30+ tunes at each level myself (believe me I have begun the process) does anyone know of a sight reading set that does this? thanks!”

Available for UIL Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. You will want to have a Directors score, and a set of instrument part books, or the instrument parts as printable PDF files on disk. Get your copies today. Call us at 501-762-6620 or email contact@sightreadingforband.com
