Activities, Sight Reading, and Songs to Help You Read Music with Confidence

Reading by interval is a musical, logical, and successful approach to music reading. Use this book to supplement a beginning method, or as a new way to help improve already existing reading skills.

Each unit presents a simple approach to learning by providing experiences in each of these areas:
 • Exploring – discover intervals on the keyboard
 • Writing – see how intervals are expressed in staff notation
 • Playing – understand how intervals correlate to the fingers of the hand
 • Reading – practice intervals with short reading examples
 • Creating – compose and improvise using intervals
 • Repertoire – discover how newly learned intervals appear in the repertoire.

Students of any age, with or without the guidance of a teacher, will benefit from the activities in this book and the reading process it demonstrates using folk tunes, classic repertoire, and original compositions.
