The authors "new approach" places the act of singing melodies at sight within the context of musicianship as a whole.
Designed for course sequences in aural skills, Progressive Sight Singing, Third Edition, by Carol Krueger, presents students with the grammar and syntax of musical structure and prepares them to perceive that structure with both the ear and the eye. Divided into two parts, the text presents rhythmic exercises in Part I and melodic exercises in Part II. The two sections can be used concurrently over a four-semester course sequence, giving instructors flexibility to teach at a pace that suits the abilities and backgrounds of a particular class or course schedule. Features: a progressive approach introduces new elements one chapters at a time while reinforcing previously learned skills through graduated exercises, encouraging active practice ; An abundance of rhythm exercises eliminates the need for a separate rhythm text ; A variety of sight singing methodologies are accommodated throughout the text. New to this edition: Expanded and adjusted pacing of the rhythm sequence and an earlier introduction of simple meter aids in the development of the connection between sound and sight ; Addtional solo, duet, and multi-voice melodic exercises enhance aural and reading skills ; Expanded appendices include suggested harmony-chord progressions ; A free and open-access Companion website (www.oup.com/us/krueger) offers recordings for aural dictation, solutions to exercises, flashcards, expanded vocal pitch exercises/graphs, and many additional melodic and rhythm exercises. -- from back cover.
"...Developing the "mind's ear"--the ability to imagine how music sounds without first playing it on an instrument--is essential to any musician and sight singing (in conjunction with ear training and other studies in musicianship) is invaluable in reaching this fundamental goal...[This book has an] abundance of meticulously organized melodies drawn from the literature of composed music and a wide range of the world's folk music...Each chapter methodically introduces elements one at a time, steadily increasing in difficulty while providing a musically meaningful framework around which students can hone their skills..."--preface.
A research-based aural skills curriculum that reflects the way students learn.
Ear Training and Sight Singing is an introductory text designed to present a wealth of material suitable for use in ear training and sight singing courses for a 4-semester university or college programme anywhere in North America.
Learn the basics of sight singing in 7 days with this innovative book! Sight Singing for Beginners Level I is a comprehensive, and progressive audio course for group or self study. It is an effective method in a variety of situations, including self-study, private music lessons, for singers in school, college, church and community choirs. This course is a compact introduction to the basics of sight singing and adds more complicated elements one by one. There are sight singing examples and exercises used in each chapter with a recorded vocal example to check yourself. To listen to a selected exercise, click on the Hear button on supported devices, or visit goo.gl/L9ezwA online. You can hear the example with a metronome to help you understand the rhythm. The note set, which is all the notes used in the example, is given above each example block. When you sing, try to grasp an entire phrase as a musical entity avoiding note to note singing. You should practice a melody several times, if necessary, until ease and fluency are achieved. It is helpful to beat time as you sing, or you may use standard conducting patterns. This book recommends singing in Solfege (fixed Do) system for sight singing music (any other system will work as well). The system applies standard syllables to the notes (Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do). Singing with solfege syllables makes it easier to hear and remember the sound of intervals and facilitates developing perfect pitch. In this system, the pitch C is always Do. Knowing how to read music will give you the confidence you need to improve as a singer/musician. Give yourself time to learn to sight sing. It takes a lot of practice and patience to develop a strong foundation in reading rhythms and sight singing melodies."
