The Big Book of Sight Reading Duets for B-flat Saxophone: 100 Sight Reading Challenges for You and a Friend, based on duets by David Vining and edited by Jonathan Bergeron, is appropriate for high school through professional saxophone players.

The Big Book of Sight Reading Duets provides a fun and effective way to improve sight reading! The 100 duets are progressively arranged so every skill level is addressed, and there are a wide variety of styles, keys, time signatures, and other musical requirements for plenty of diversity.

The Big Book of Sight Reading Duets comes in two versions designed to coordinate with one another: E-flat (alto and baritone saxophones) and B-flat (soprano and tenor saxophones). With both editions, all saxophonists can play them together!

"Trillpalooza", "Wacky Waltz", "Late for Rehearsal", and "Rhythm Tornado" are just a few of the clever ditties found within, so stop dreading sight reading and learn the secrets to reading music accurately at first sight with The Big Book of Sight Reading Duets!

"As saxophonists, we MUST have incredible sight reading 'chops.' At every jazz, commercial, pop, or studio musician job I've been called for, they hand you the folder when you show up -- no rehearsal, you just play the charts. Can you read it down and sound great in that moment? If yes, you'll get more phone calls. If not, your calls to perform gigs could come to a halt." - Jonathan Bergeron, Professor of Saxophone, Northern Arizona University

"This publication is a valuable addition to our saxophone pedagogy because of its unique fusion of sight reading exercises and duet format. It's approachable, accessible, and engaging -- happy sight reading!" - Dr. Allison Adams, Associate Professor of Saxophone, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
