I like to incorporate sightreading into my daily drill. By the way, marches are great for sightreading training. The frequent repeats give students a second chance on every strain and the students love to play them. Summer is also a great time to update solo and ensemble files. These will be playable and winners.
Summer is also the time to recharge.
I would like to encourage each of our members to attend. This clinic involves a tryout process that I think you will find very interesting. I will explain the procedure that we have been using in Region X for the past three years. I think that it is faster, easier, and more accurate. We have a computer program in place that allows the total results of the contest to be posted about 15 minutes after the last person performs.
