SIGHT-SINGING & WARM-UPS
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.

The Folk Song Sight Singing Series—
Ed. 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.

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. Now available as a convenient
digital download!

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."

Intonational Solfege (A Contextual and
Aurally Immersive Approach to Intonational
Music Literacy)—James Jordan. Whether it
be pattern training or various solfege methods,
no method teaches singers to sing in tune! For
the first time, James Jordan has developed a
"spiraling" complete method for developing
aural and intonational literacy in all of the
modes, at the same time expanding inferential
teaching patterns outside tonic, dominant,
and subdominant. With newly composed
accompanied exercises written by John
Frederick Hudson and recorded tracks of all
the exercises and patterns available for digital
download, this method offers a comprehensive
integration of Edwin Gordon's Music Learning
Theory and intonation teaching techniques
developed by James Jordan.

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!

Keys to Sight Reading Success—John
Hemmenway. If you're looking for sight-reading
material for your choral groups, be sure to look
at this series. It's been around for years and
has been steadily gaining acceptance with
directors all over the country. Each easy-to-
use book is carefully graduated in difficulty,
and the exercises are harmonious, so they're
as enjoyable to hear 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!

Sight-Reading)—Michele Henry & Keitha
Lucas Hamann. Help your students Level
Up! their sight-reading skills using their minds
and ears as well their voices! This sequential,
interactive, and comprehensive resource
uses the concept of target skills (isolated pitch
and rhythm patterns) and guides students to
carefully understand and analyze every new
skill by difficulty. The students are then asked
to sight-read specially sequenced practice
melodies for additional reinforcement. Each
of the student books, available in both treble
clef and bass clef editions, is designed as
an interactive workbook for the student to
mark up. The companion teacher books
include clear instructions for how to best
use the system, outline the approach and
sequencing, and provide assessments.
Links are included for additional online
exercises and reinforcement. This series
is designed to support the artistic literacy
goals of the National Coalition for Core Arts
Standards (NCCAS) and many state music
education standards.

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.
