An approach based on self-learning and recognition of rhythmic and melodic patterns. Original tunes, rather than abstract sight-reading exercises. 214 carefully graded pieces in a range of musical styles. Eight sections ranging from open strings to 3rd position. Each section concludes with a set of duets and accompanied pieces for practice of ensemble sight-reading. Tunes progress towards all key signatures up to three sharps and flats. Preliminary towards grade 5.   Contents Preface To the pupil: why sight-reading?
