H Essential Sight Singing, Vol. 2—Emily Crocker
& John Leavitt. This second volume will help you
continue to build skills in your choral ensembles
with a handy octavo-sized book. This step-by-step
approach uses unison and combinable exercises
along with motivating songs to provide a basis
for developing music literacy within the choral
rehearsal. The CDs provide light accompaniment
for the combinable pitch builders, speech choruses
and songs. In keeping with the spirit of sight-
reading, there is no singing on the CDs.

H The Folk Song Sight Singing Series—Edited
by Edgar Crowe, Annie Lawton & Gillies Whittaker.
These standard sight-singing books have been
favorites with choral directors and classroom
teachers since their first publication in 1933. Each
volume is a collection of folk tunes from around
the world, carefully selected and organized to lead
the student from simple rhythms gradually to more
difficult ones. Intended to be sung without words
(to a single syllable such as la, or to solfa), these
books provide training in the full gamut of keys as
they teach sensitivity to dynamics and phrasing.

l How to Sight Sing—Chad Johnson. Useful for
choral groups or private vocal study, How to Sight
Sing aims to help readers master the art of singing a
melody correctly upon first glance. Though this may
seem a daunting task initially, like any other skill, it
simply takes practice to master. Like learning a new
language, there are fundamentals to learn and drills
and exercises to cement the concepts, but there are
other helpful tools to make the process enjoyable
and productive. The guide begins with a refreshing
course in reading music before moving on to topics
like the most common keys and scales used in
Western music, intervals, and melodic and rhythmic
listening. The online audio features listening
exercises to hone both melodic and rhythmic skills.
PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player, allows
users to slow down the audio without changing
pitch, set loop points, change keys, and more.

InSight Singing: A Multi-Sensory Approach
to Reading Music—Denise Eaton, Jan Juneau
& Sally Schott. Imagine your students becoming
independent sight-readers! This book provides a
systematic process for improving the following:
sight-singing skills, integration of visual, auditory
and kinesthetic learning styles in reading music,
and overall musicianship. The learning strategies
which accompany the melodies presented in this
text incorporate all senses through multisensory
learning. These ideas give direction to the learner
and the teacher in developing the necessary musical
skills and confidence to sight-sing in a manner
which includes musical accuracy while encouraging
good vocal technique. Using this type of consistent,
thoughtful organization of concepts, students can
learn to be secure in their abilities as music readers,
as well as becoming "insightful singers."

Jazz Warm-Ups and Vocalises—Gary Walth.
Here's a great set of warm-ups for the vocal
jazz ensemble that's designed to enhance and
stimulate the growth of each member's vocal and
choral ability. Thinking of the warm-up as a "mini
voice lesson," you can reinforce concepts with
consistent encouragement, criticism, problem-
solving and praise. This practical volume will
help the conductor provide purposeful leadership
and develop artistry in each individual through
exercises that build styles such as Swing, Latin
and Rock, using solfege and scat syllables as well
as tone and blend in ballad style. Each exercise
includes a notated keyboard accompaniment, with
multiple modulations, and a professional recording
of singers with a rhythm section.

H Jenson Sight Singing Course—David Bauguess.
An incredibly popular sight-singing method, this
is based on the solfege system (with optional
numbers) and gives you a step-by step plan for
teaching your choir the fundamentals of sight
singing. By spending just ten minutes a day on
sight singing, you will dramatically improve your
choir's music skills in just a matter of weeks!
The materials in Volume 1 include 334 diatonic
exercises and a glossary of music terms, with
an excellent instructional text in the Teacher's
Edition. Volume 2 is a logical continuation of this
method, or is for groups that are already proficient
in solfege. It includes 244 exercises with an easy-
to-understand approach to chromatics; it also
covers such topics as more advanced divisions
and subdivisions of the beat, minor tonalities
and more. An added feature of this method is
an excellent supplement, the Jenson Sight-
Singing Part Exercises, which is a collection of
82 exercises for use with this or any other sight-
singing program. Including rounds, two-, three-
and four-part exercises, graded original material,
and excerpts from the choral repertoire, this is an
excellent bridge between singing just "exercises"
and true choral literature! This is exceptionally
popular with your colleagues, so you owe it to
yourself to examine this very carefully!

Hemmenway. If you're looking for sight-reading

all over the country. Each easy-to-use book is
carefully graduated in difficulty, and the exercises

as they are to sing. Your students will learn how to
blend and sing in tune as they learn how to read
melodically and rhythmically. A solid contribution
to choral sight-reading literature!

H One-Minute Sight Singing—Holly Shaw-
Slabbinck & Ronald Slabbinck. One-Minute Sight
Singing teaches and reinforces the essentials of
solfege-based sight singing without cutting into
valuable rehearsal time. The curriculum, structured
as a collection of one-minute lessons, targets
students of all ages who are new to sight singing.
It also serves as an ideal component to the regular
choral warm-up routine for singers of all experience
levels. Singers who are new to music reading
and theory will appreciate the helpful reminders
interspersed before new concepts are introduced
in the music. The careful progression of lessons
ensures that singers will gain a solid mastery of
sight singing, movable "Do" solfege, and Curwen
hand symbols. One-Minute Sight Singing is uniquely
designed with exercises duplicated in both treble
and bass clefs. Not only does this help singers learn
to read and sight sing in both clefs, but directors
may also use the unison exercises to help improve
tuning and breath support. A great choice for school,
youth, community, and church choirs!

Patterns of Sound—Joyce Eilers & Emily Crocker.
This is a powerful, effective sight-reading method for
elementary and early middle school treble voices.
The concepts of rhythm and pitch are introduced
separately at the beginning, but always within the
context of measures so that exercises are musically
interesting. Exercises that illustrate and reinforce
each concept are combinable, so harmonic interest
is introduced at an early stage, building rhythmic
independence and better intonation. The result?
Painless part singing. One of the most important
features of this method is the inclusion of actual
songs, arranged with accompaniments, words
and dynamics. The logical sequencing and careful
reinforcement of musical concepts lead naturally to
a broad musical understanding. Student confidence
stays high because they really understand what they
are doing.

Pop Warm-Ups and Workouts for Guys—Roger
Emerson. Unchanged, changing or changed male
singers in middle school and high school may need
a little extra help in "finding" their singing voices.
Roger Emerson has developed a series of warm-ups
that use excerpts from classic rock and roll tunes
that will provide the motivation and repetition they
need to do just that. Each song features limited
ranges; the pattern starts in a moderate range
and gradually ascends into the tenor range and
descends through the bass range as needed. The
professionally-produced CD recording presents
each exercise with vocals so your guys have a model
to emulate. Exercises are based on the following
songs: The Addams Family Theme; Theme from
"Jaws;" Jump, Jive an' Wail; Land of a Thousand
Dances; Mission: Impossible Theme; Na Na Hey
Hey, Kiss Him Goodbye; Shake, Rattle and Roll;
Smoke on the Water; We Will Rock You.
