Sight Singing Made Accessible, Readable,
Teachable (Volume 1)—Denise Eaton.
Founded on the premise that young singers tend to
view each key as a separate "language," this creative
approach to sight singing addresses the needs of
visual learners by organizing the treble and bass
clef exercises key by key. Volume 1 provides visual
orientation and melodies to sight read in seven keys.
Each section begins with the scale and outlines the
tonic chord for that key, followed by a tonal drill.
Students are introduced to the intervals of seconds,
thirds, fourths, fifths and sixths. The Minor version was
written to hone the reading skills of advanced choirs
and to provide preparatory materials for the rehearsal
and performance of works in minor tonalities.
