Jazz Marimba posted:edit: To add a question of my own, I recently realized that I accidentally messed up my sight reading somewhere along the way. What I do right now is learn whatever I'm reading well enough that I can glance at it and play it from memory. How do I fix it so I can actually sight read stuff? The way I did it was to get/borrow a ton of music and never read anything more than once or twice. I came out of a season of drum corps being able to memorize anything in seconds, and that's how my teacher at the time ended up forcing me to improve my reading.

Jazz Marimba posted:...do you have a ton of sheet music I could borrow? And is there any sort of progression you recommend, or just "the order in which you pick them up?" Yeah the amount of music is the tough part. I was fortunate enough to have access to a couple filing cabinets full of stuff. What kind of reading are you looking to do? And what level? I did a bunch of mallet reading out of Bona's Rhythmical Articulation, and just kind of cycled through in the hopes I forgot what I'd read a few weeks before. Rhythm reading, you can read just about anything though some instruments are more useful than others. Do you have access to a library with a music section? Can be a surprising number of older method books in there. If you want to read, say, timpani stuff, then we might be in trouble.
