Sight Reading Notes - Not As Hard As I Thought

I started my Big Band class last Thursday, and was given sheet music to learn.  I was not at all sharp on my ability to read bass clef, so I penciled in the name of each note on the sheet music.  This helped, but after a couple of days, I no longer needed the pencil notations.  In fact, they became a distraction, so I threw out the sheet music and printed fresh pages from my soft copy.  Now I am just reading the notes.

My ability to sight read is growing quickly.  I am amazed.
