Sing at First Sight, Level 1 - By Andy Beck, Karen Farnum Surmani, and Brian Lewis

Description

A sequential sight-singing curriculum for all choirs. Each of the six units (containing four lessons each) clearly introduces new music reading concepts, reinforces those concepts with several rhythm and pitch exercises, motivates students with helpful hints and challenge exercises, and concludes with fun-filled review games and Evaluating Your Performance" questions. The helpful "Getting Ready" pages (which precede each unit) are filled with music fundamentals, and for choirs who have never read music before, an optional "Before We Begin" chapter opens the book. And it's all neatly laid out in a 96-page octavo sized publication; a perfect fit for your students, and their folders. From whole notes to sixteenth-note patterns, seconds to sevenths, key signatures, dynamics, articulations, and tempo markings; it's all here, and it's all logically ordered to ensure student success! Spend just a few minutes a day with this book and your choir, too, will learn to "Sing at First Sight!" This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud." Review: Sight Reading - Very good and helpful aid to learn to sight read music. Bought it for a young teen and she has learned a lot. Review: Fit for purpose - I am sure that, for a choral singer, these would be a great help. I had hoped that they would help with sight singing for the aural part of the piano exams. For that purpose they are not really helpful. My fault, not theirs.
