Joining The Dots Bk 5

Joining the Dots offers pianists lots of material to help build confidence and skill in sight-reading.

The series brings together a range of activities to help students improve their sense of keyboard geography, helping them to read new music more quickly and easily.
The book covers the requirements for ABRSM’s sight-reading tests at Grade 4, and includes:
– many short, characterful pieces to sight-read, in a range of approachable musical styles
– warm-up and technical exercises, to establish basic hand shapes and finger patterns within each key
– simple improvisation exercises in which students can explore musical ideas and familiarise themselves further with the ‘feel’ of each key
– longer solo pieces and a duet, for additional sight-reading practice or to learn quickly and play through for fun
