The eight books cover the requirements for ABRSM’s sight-reading tests at each of Grades 1 to 8, and include:

• many short, characterful pieces to sight-read, in a range of approachable musical styles
• warm-up and technical exercises, to establish basic hand shapes and finger patterns within each key
• simple musicianship exercises in which students can explore ideas and familiarize themselves further with the ‘feel’ of each key
• longer solo pieces and a duet, for additional sight-reading practice or to learn quickly and play through for fun
