About this ebook
This is Sight-Reading Samurai (Volume I: Bass Clef Edition), a new book intended to address one of the most common problems all musicians face — the ability to read music better at sight. Saxophonist, composer, and author Marcus Monteiro has come up with a system of sight-reading that addresses one of the biggest obstacles to practicing this skill. The problem is that once you’ve played through most music you are reading if you play it again then you are no longer sight-reading. Now you’re just practicing the music. With Monteiro’s system, the forty (40) 24-bar etudes here are useable again and again and in many different ways. This book is a powerful tool for you to start improving your sight-reading abilities today.
