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.
Notes on playing bass with a band: things to learn, things to practice, band talk, musicians, music and videos.
