New for Orchestra Sight-Reading: Texas Prep Series from RBC Publications
Lakeland, Florida (November 6 ,2024) RBC Publications is thrilled to release the much anticipated Texas Prep Series: Daily Exercises Based on the State Sight-Reading Criteria for String Orchestra, featuring six levels of collections written by esteemed educators and composers from Texas, Kari Zamora, Aaron Fryklund and Kevin Sluder. Ideal for use by Orchestra Directors – in Texas, throughout the country and beyond – Texas Prep is a daily exercise collection specifically designed to increase sight-reading skills and prepare students for contest adjudication. It covers every key, rhythm, and time signature ensembles may encounter while sight-reading under the Texas state sight-reading criteria. Each of the six levels in the Texas Prep series follows the widely respected University Interscholastic League (UIL) sight-reading criteria for String Orchestra and follows a progressive, pedagogic sequence.
“The state of Texas has earned a wonderful reputation for outstanding music programs,” explains Tyler Arcari, Director of Music Production and Editing. “Through collaboration with fantastic Texas Composers and educators, the Texas Prep series has been crafted to be an invaluable resource for teachers in Texas and around the country.”
As a longtime collaborator with UIL in providing musical pieces for the sight-reading portion of UIL’s assessment, RBC Publications understands the ins and outs of Texas state music education, criteria, and adjudication. Texas Prep Series is any String Educator’s tool to assist in these endeavors.
Releases that are part of the new series include the following: Texas Prep Level I by Kari Zamora, Texas Prep Level II by Aaron Fryklund, Texas Prep Level III by Kevin Sluder, Texas Prep Level IV by Kari Zamora, Texas Prep Level V by Aaron Fryklund and Texas Prep Level VI by Kevin Sluder.
Complete String Orchestra sets are available for $55 each (scores are $10 each)
