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. 10019272 Book Volume 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8.95 10185054 Book Minor. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8.95 Sing at First Sight (Foundations in Choral Sight-Singing)—Andy Beck, Karen Farnum Surmani & Brian Lewis. A sequential sight-singing curriculum for all choirs. Each of the six units (containing four lessons each) clearly introduces new music reading concepts, reinforces those concepts with several rhythm and pitch exercises, motivates students with helpful hints and challenge exercises, and concludes with fun- filled review games and "Evaluating Your Performance" questions. The helpful "Getting Ready" pages (which precede each unit) are filled with music fundamentals, and for choirs who have never read music before, an optional "Before We Begin" chapter opens the book. And it's all neatly presented in a 96-page octavo-sized publication, a perfect fit for your students' folders. From whole notes to sixteenth-note patterns, seconds to sevenths, key signatures and dynamics to articulations and tempo markings, it's all here, and it's all logically ordered to ensure student success! Spend just a few minutes a day with this book and your choir will learn to "Sing at First Sight." 3300834 Unison/Two-Part Book. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7.99 Sing at First Sight (Reproducible Companion with CD)—Andy Beck, Karen Farnum Surmani & Brian Lewis.
