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.

Foundations of Choral Mastery—Stuart R.
Hunt. The ability to sight-read is not a gift and need
not be a chore; rather, it is a matter of tackling
and mastering challenges in short segments that
encourage and lead the learner to discovery and
mastery of specific and necessary skills. This
foundation course contains 40 lessons in treble,
bass, and mixed formats, with introductions and
primer lessons that provide foundational choral
concepts for choral students in grades 6-12 and
coordinate perfectly with the Choral Literacy and
Standards rubrics. Your students will be able to
independently count and read rhythms; read and
understand key signatures; audiate; sing and
differentiate melody and harmony; understand and
apply most common musical terms, articulations
and expression marks; sing their part; evaluate their
progress; and meet or exceed state and national
standards. This book segues seamlessly into the
sequential 4-Minute Mastery series that provides
an additional 30+ lessons, each taking four
minutes or less. This reproducible and projectable
resource is available in either printed form or as a
downloadable PDF.

Harmonic Warm-Ups—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.

Ballantyne. A treasure trove of choral pedagogy!

beginners from unison to two-part singing by
focusing on the underlying aural and developmental
concepts necessary for success. Sequential
chapters on unison, echo, round, and partner
singing serve as benchmarks along the way to full
harmony. Each of the ten carefully curated songs
is prefaced with a two-page rehearsal guide that
targets essential objectives and suggests exercises
and activities designed to introduce, explore, and
master the piece. Learn how to anticipate and
address musical challenges for this repertoire, then
transfer these masterful techniques to your entire
program. Fully reproducible, choose either the
traditional book with or without online audio, the
digital version with online PDFs and online audio,
or an enhanced CD with both PDFs and audio.

School, Evan Fein's unique method presents a series
of sequential building blocks to train aural skills
through brief exercises, followed by original practice
melodies. It is based on the ease of learning repeated
patterns, and intervals, rhythms, and harmonic
challenges are introduced in an intuitive order to
facilitate success with advancing musical content.
Over 400 melodic exercises are presented in treble
and bass clef, in major and minor keys. The user
may choose their own method of sight-singing (fixed
Do, moveable Do, numbers, or note letter names) as
no syllable prompts are given. Ideal for choral or solo
vocal study, it is useful in the traditional classroom or
studio, online learning, or self-directed study.

and kinesthetic learning styles in reading music,
and overall musicianship. The learning strategies

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

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!
