Product Description
Written for all keyboardists (classical, jazz, rock), this book is a goldmine for students, teachers, and professionals alike. The book reduces the process of sight-reading into individual components. Through a series of progressive drills, your mastery of each component is comfortably and scientifically paced. As you improve, the parts merge as one and your reading reaches the highest level.
