I am a Music Ed. student in Chicago and graduate in roughly 2 years. After graduation I'm looking to find work on a cruise ship, possibly, or other things of that nature. My guitar chops are not my concern, I have 10 years of serious playing under my belt from all different genres. My drawback is my sight reading ability. I understand this is a huge disadvantage to me when looking for the type of work I will soon be looking for. With 2 years left before any huge auditioning takes place, what are some things that you guys have done to hone your sight reading, or what things would you have done? (websites, exercises, etc. And what does the sight reading look like for the Cruise lines or agencies? (Mostly jazz chords? mostly just melody?)
p.s. This is a great site and has kept me reading for awhile!
