Sight Singing Made Accessible, Readable,
Teachable—Denise Eaton. Founded on the
premise that young singers tend to view each key
as a separate "language," this creative approach to
sight singing addresses the needs of visual learners
by organizing the treble and bass clef exercises key
by key. Volume 1 provides visual orientation and
melodies to sight read in seven keys. Each section
begins with the scale and outlines the tonic chord
for that key, followed by a tonal drill. Students
are introduced to the intervals of seconds, thirds,
fourths, fifths and sixths. Volume 2 is designed
to hone the reading skills of advanced choirs and
to provide preparatory materials for the rehearsal
and performance of works in minor tonalities, while
Volume 3 focuses on modulating tonalities.
