| sight singing complete: Sight Singing Complete Bruce Benward, Maureen A Carr, 2014-03-19 Students of music are faced with the challenge of developing their aural skills to the point at which they can see music on the page with thoughtful, trained eyes and hear it with their mind’s ear. Sight Singing Complete, leads students to this point by beginning with the familiar and moving gently toward the unfamiliar until they are transforming symbol into sound and improvising in all idioms. The 8th edition of Sight Singing Complete preserves the multi-faced pedagogical approach and the commitment to historical repertoire from the seventh edition. New to this edition is an integrated approach to rhythm and performance — This edition is unusual in that we not only expect student to master each skill by itself, we also expect them to integrate all three skills in carefully designed sequence of “Play + Sing” exercises adapted from 18th – 21st century instrumental and vocal repertoire. |

| sight singing complete: Sight-Singing - Volume 1 Hans Oxmond, 2012-10-12 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 |
