Sight Reading Exercises

Go to www.lucaspickford.com and go to the bass transcriptions. He has a ton of them. Also, the Simandl, although it is aimed towards double bass, is great for practicing sight reading. And when you practice, don't sight read stuff you know you can read. Find something you can't sight read and learn it and become familiar with all the note patterns and rhythms. So when you come across something again thats similar, you'll do alright. Sight reading is just like normal reading, you can't actually read EVERY note to do it well. You have to be able to look at whole "phrases" or rhythm figures and just be able to recognize them as one big thing.

Wow! Thank you, honestly. That is exactly the kind of site I have been looking for. Thanks.
look for classical music books im working through a bach book for cello and not only is it really good reading but it is also really good for my playing. look into these classical things they really help. But if your a jazz player as i myself am theres nothing better than the Real Book!
J S Bach is really good for learning to sight read, the 6 cello suites have the advantage of being beautiful pieces of music to add to your repertoire too!
