Joining the Dots offers guitarists 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 fingerboard geography, helping them to read new music more quickly and easily.
This book covers the requirements for ABRSM's sight-reading tests and includes: many short, charcterful 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 familiarize themselves further with the "feel" of each key; longer solo pieces and some duets and trios, for additional sight- reading practice, or to learn quickly and play through for fun!
