Ed. Edgar Crowe, Annie Lawton & Gillies

teach sensitivity to dynamics and phrasing.

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

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!
