Reading and Pace Manual - Volume 1
Jean-Christophe Sangouard

This book is intended to prepare all beginner instrumentalists, especially keyboard players, harpists and percussionists, to learn simultaneous reading of floor and floor keys.

The author wished to avoid to beginner students reading defects such as poor reading of the key of fa (with respect to the treble clef), wrong direction of vertical reading (from top to bottom, instead of from bottom to top) , poor rhythmic reading due to lack of regularity and speed, poor knowledge of instrumental tessitura, often noted if the keys are studied separately.
