At many auditions, the sightreading is just a makeshift of complex rhythms without a melody. What are some good trumpet books with mainly difficult rhythms and not much melody?

What are some excellent trumpet sightreading books?
While the Arbans is a must have text for all brass players it is weak on rhythmic variety.

Here's a good book to sight read with a friend or teacher


(Gonna be hard but that's the point right)





Duets: 44 duos for trumpet : addressing rhythmic challenges inspired by J.S. Bach, Igor Stravinsky, Samuel Barber, Maurice Durufle, and Alec Wilder / by Chris Gekker.





Here's what judges are looking for with sight-reading at the student level.


(Not in order of importance each aspect is equal)





1) Rhythm vocabulary (can you play the right rhythm even if you don't play all the right notes)


2) Rhythmic pulse (If you're in 4/4 time Do you know where you are in each individual measure? Can you mess up in time? You totally blew beats 1,2 and 3 but came back strong on beat 4 "in time" and didn't lose the pulse, didn't rush or drag the tempo)


3) Pitch Accuracy (no explanation needed)


4) Start to Finish - Don't go back for wrong notes, don't stop


5) Musicality -Sight-reading phrases and making music no matter what the situation is always the most important thing.





All these things add up to a good sight reading audition. My point is if you play the "hard" rhythm right but all those other aspects are weak = low score.





Practicing all scales and arpeggios with a metronome is essential for becoming a good musician period but it really helps with sight-reading.





Remember you can use any music you've never seen for sightreading. Dedicate 5 minutes of each practice session to something you've never seen before.


No practicing allowed. No stopping allowed. Look at the key pick a tempo and go. The most important part at first is to keep the 'beat' don't lose the beat ever this is essential and the key to good sight-reading. Remember all those complex rythms are just riding on top of pulse of the time signature.





Some other tips for good sightreading in auditions


Quickly recognize:


Time Signature


Key Signature


Ask for a tempo if none is given


Give yourself a few silent bars before you start, you can't take too much time but it only take a few seconds to get settled into 6/8 3/4 4/4/ whatever they throw at you (four bars of the basic pulse)
Reply:Get the Arban's Book. It has *everything*, including rhythm exercises.
