A Line A Day Sight Reading

- Ideal for developing music reading skills
- Short phrases included for daily sight reading
- Note searches help with note recognition
- Progress report form helps log student work

Level 1 to 4

Each of these action-packed books build students' reading skills using two types of exercises:
- Daily Note Search emphasizes quick recognition of notes out of five-finger positions;
- Short Phrases in five-finger positions give your students a daily diet of reading (not rehearsing).

The suggested practice routine fosters excellent self-evaluation habits. Progress reports help teachers and students track annual progress. Both of Levels 1 and 2 may be used with any beginning piano method.
