Looking for an easy and effective way to practice sight reading with your ensemble?

Look no further than the Mad Music Sight Reading Shed!

These YouTube videos are tailer made to be used for full band (or other music ensemble) practice. The video is meant to be blown up on a tv or projector at the front of the room and then played with your band.
