Abstract
Reading music can be a new challenge to any beginner. Fluent music reading requires every player to spend time practicing. As jazz bassists, we often spend time sight-reading a chord progression more than than music notations compared with a brass player or a horn player. By dexterously reading music, the player will understand the basics of writing music as well. To develop sight-reading, the players may have to practice the skill frequently, similar to reading a book. So it is necessary for them to learn from productive books or exercises.
