The Complete Sight Reading Etude Collection Ponzo believes, "It is imperative that the basic elements of brass playing are established and refined each day. The ability to sight read with precision and musicianship is one of these elements." To challenge students, Ponzo created 132 graded etudes in easy, intermediate, and advanced skill levels. Used successfully since 2004 for trumpet students, these etudes have now been transcribed for use by bass clef brass players.
