Viola Sight-Reading 2
An approach based on self-learning and recognition of rhythmic and melodic patterns

150 carefully graduated pieces in a range of musical styles
Five sections related to the technical development of the viola player
Tunes progress to eventually include key signatures up to five sharps and flats; whole-tone, chromatic, modal and atonal elements are also incorporated
Each section concludes with duets and accompanied pieces for practice of ensemble sight-reading
Tunes range from Grade 4 to advanced
