Sight-Singing and Warm-Ups
n InSight Singing: A Multi-Sensory Approach
to Reading MusicDenise 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."

n Jazz Warm-Ups and VocalisesGary Walth.
Here's a great set of warm-ups for the vocal
jazz ensemble that's designed to enhance and
stimulate the growth of each member's vocal and
choral ability. Thinking of the warm-up as a "mini
voice lesson," you can reinforce concepts with
consistent encouragement, criticism, problem-
solving and praise. This practical volume will
help the conductor provide purposeful leadership
and develop artistry in each individual through
exercises that build styles such as Swing, Latin
and Rock, using solfege and scat syllables as well
as tone and blend in ballad style. Each exercise
includes a notated keyboard accompaniment, with
multiple modulations, and a professional recording
of singers with a rhythm section.

H Jenson Sight Singing CourseDavid 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 10 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, and also covers such topics as more
advanced divisions and sub-divisions 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, 2, 3 and 4-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!

melodically and rhythmically. A solid contribution to

H One-Minute Sight SingingHolly 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!

n Patterns of SoundJoyce 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
levels stay high because they really understand what
they are doing.
