| sight singing exercises: Sight Singing Earl Henry, 1997 Fresh on the market, this interactive book helps those musically inclined develop their acumen in sight singing. Organizing each chapter around one musical problem and one rhythmic problem, it contains traditional sight singing materials as well as exercises for composition and analysis, improvisation, and transportation. Beginning with an extensive foreword by an acknowledged expert in the field of music theory pedagogy and aural skills, the book explains how to hear patterns in relation to a tonal center - or, in atonal patterns, how to relate the acquired knowledge from tonal studies to patterns that do not revolve around a tonal center. It presents hundreds of melodies alongside representative works from music literature which are divided in two categories: 1) pedagogically effective tunes that focus on a single problem and include sufficient repetition to insure user mastery, and; 2) melodies spanning the entire range of music literature from the Renaissance to the present day and representing problems in the context of major works of art. It provides warm-up activities that allow users to focus on one problem at a time (i.e., common rhythmic patterns without melodic complications, or pitch patterns without changing rhythms), and offers a variety of ensembles, both newly-composed and from the literature. It also includes an extensive glossary of foreign musical terms and symbols. For musicians, composers, and others in the field of music. |

| sight singing exercises: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry John Mark Comer, 2019-10-29 ECPA BESTSELLER • A compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life—from the New York Times bestselling author of Practicing the Way “Prophetic, practical, and profoundly life giving . . . provides a way forward that creates hope, hunger, and a vision of a beautiful life. I consider this required reading.”—Jon Tyson, lead pastor of the Church of the City New York and author of Beautiful Resistance “Who am I becoming?” That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren’t pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: “Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.” It wasn’t the response he expected, but it was—and continues to be—the answer he needs. Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness, as a root of much evil. The perfect read to help you start the new year off right, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry is a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world. |

| sight singing exercises: 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 |
