How can I get better at sight reading on my trumpet?
AK Monkey asked:
I am a O.K. trumpet player, and if I have a piece of music that I have practiced and know how to play, I do it fine. But I just cant sight read, and I have to be able to, to get into an orchestra I want to join. I really want to get better, and people always say you just need practice but I’ve been trying for a long time and I still can’t. So if someone could give me some tips that would be great!!!
Thx

Are you practising different pieces of music every day ? You have to expose yourself to new things every day.
Are you comfortable reading all your scales too ?
