Learn the basics of sight singing in 7 days with this innovative book! Sight Singing for Beginners Level I is a comprehensive, and progressive audio course for group or self study. It is an effective method in a variety of situations, including self-study, private music lessons, for singers in school, college, church and community choirs. This course is a compact introduction to the basics of sight singing and adds more complicated elements one by one. There are sight singing examples and exercises used in each chapter with a recorded vocal example to check yourself. To listen to a selected exercise, click on the Hear button on supported devices, or visit goo.gl/L9ezwA online. You can hear the example with a metronome to help you understand the rhythm. The note set, which is all the notes used in the example, is given above each example block. When you sing, try to grasp an entire phrase as a musical entity avoiding note to note singing. You should practice a melody several times, if necessary, until ease and fluency are achieved. It is helpful to beat time as you sing, or you may use standard conducting patterns. This book recommends singing in Solfege (fixed Do) system for sight singing music (any other system will work as well). The system applies standard syllables to the notes (Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do). Singing with solfege syllables makes it easier to hear and remember the sound of intervals and facilitates developing perfect pitch. In this system, the pitch C is always Do. Knowing how to read music will give you the confidence you need to improve as a singer/musician. Give yourself time to learn to sight sing. It takes a lot of practice and patience to develop a strong foundation in reading rhythms and sight singing melodies."
SIGHT-SINGING is a modern ear training system, which makes use of solfège - undeniably the oldest and most recognized sight-reading method. By using this system, the student can learn to hear and sing a melody line, simply by reading the notes. The SIGHT-SINGING (vol. 1-3) books consist of more than 700 melodies and exercises. As you progress through the exercises, the difficulty will increase steadily. Very little prior knowledge is required of the student. Even if the book is used for independent study, with no help from a music teacher, the student need only know the names of the notes and how to find them on the piano. In this book (vol. 1), we will focus on the major pentatonic scale. In other words, we will begin our journey by practicing the syllables: do-re-mi-so-la. It is just five notes - but that is still enough to have a lot of fun. More information on http://www.sightsinging.com

After students have perfected each exercise a cappella on their own, they can enhance the learning process further by performing with the rhythm accompaniment tracks on the enclosed CD. Performance/ accompaniment tracks for the songs are also included."--Page 4 of cover.
