Accompanying his most recent series of publications for Schott Music, John Kember will be concentrating his workshops on the art of sight-reading.
John has worked in education throughout his career as a composer, arranger, pianist and conductor; he has a busy private teaching practice. Having worked as an examiner for the ABRSM for sixteen years, John believes in the importance of establishing the habit of regular sight-reading early in a student’s learning process. His publications in the Sight-Reading series present sight-reading as an essential skill rather than merely an examination necessity, and are available for piano, voice, wind and string instruments.
John's workshops are aimed at helping teachers to instill the importance of regular sight-reading, and he uses his publications from the Sight-Reading seres in these sessions.
