A Call for Assistance

[thedarksiren2]

Wuddah-wuddah-hooooooo!!!!

I am so happy right now! I just got some great news and well, I am excited and enthralled and add-your-own-exclamation. Just read on and you shall understand!!!

This upcoming fall semester I plan on immersing myself in all the core music classes - theory, ear training, etc. I had been trying desparately to get ahold of the music department chairman for about two weeks to ask him a favor...see, to take theory and ear training, a student must first take music reading skills, which, of course, makes sense. The thing is, I wanted to take it all at the same time, so I needed department approval.

Well, Mr. Scott finally returned my call this morning, and he said he had no problems with my just skipping the reading skills class so long as I pass the placement test.

*bounce!*

This is great great news! I have been holding off on applying to some major universities because I need these core classes to even be considered for them.

Now, the thing that I need is this: review.

Yes, I can read music to a degree, but there are some things I just do not recall (I graduated high school in '93, and didn't even start college till 2000...been a while!) What I am asking is if anyone out there can recommend any good books for reviewing basic sight-reading.

Any and all input would be much appreciated!

I can't think of any book for you, as when I was in band I was a drummer just do that I did not have to read music.

Congrats...

I unfortunately have no assistance to offer other than my best wishes on a successful quest. Hope you find everything you need.

You could call Case's music department. Ask them. If I was in Cleveland, I'd loan you all my theory books.
