SIGHT-SINGING & WARM-UPS
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!

H 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.
