I was looking for Irish music online and I found this incredible document.

Some kindly soul has scanned in a huge collection of melodies and made them available here

http://imslp.org/wiki/The_Complete_Collection_of_Irish_Music_(Petrie,_George)

I’m not trying to get you into Irish music , but this is a wonderful document to practise sight reading. It has literally hundreds of short melodies in various keys and time signatures, and there are some real gems in there, too.

I strongly urge you to download this and make it part of your daily routine.

Your reading, as well as your grasp of keys and time signatures, will leap forward.

Spraoi a bheith agat!
