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 Harmonic Warm-Ups (for Choirs and Vocal
Groups)—Tijs Krammer. Why do we always warm
up in unison when our choirs sing in harmony?
It's an excellent question. Unison warm-ups serve
their purpose, certainly, but you can reinvent your
warm-up routine with this innovative approach that
leads the way to more meaningful and diversified
warm-ups. This book is filled with uncomplicated
melodies that are quickly learned and then turned
into multiple-part exercises by singing in canon or
stacked parallels. An exemplary practice that invites
developed groups to focus on higher listening and
ensemble skills. Online access to MP3 demos of
every exercise is also included as a bonus.

H The 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!
