Saxophone beginners Sight reading Grade 1

[Simo]

I'm going for my grade 1 soon (ABRSM). I don't have a problem with the scales and arpeggios. I can do upto grade 3 in scales and arpeggios, it's the sight reading I'm bothered about. Does anyone know what the music is and or what else is involved?

Hi,
A week on MOnday I am taking my Grade 5 tenor ABRSM exam and the sight reading is usually 2 lines of music that is at the desired grade. If you get the sight reading ABRSM book for alto or tenor then you will have plently to practice.
Best of luck (I am still struggling with scalea dn remembering them all - must be my age!)
Have fun
Ben

I will, thanks. Unfortunately you don't get to know for 2 to 5 weeks.
