The most engaging and musical Sight-Singing text on the market.

 

Music for Sight Singing is structured around organized melodiesdrawn from the literature of composed music and a wide range of the world&;s folk music. Real music exercises allow readers to practice sight singing and develop their &;mind&;s ear&; &; the ability to imagine how music sounds without first playing it on an instrument.

 

The ninth edition continues to introduce a host of important musical considerations beyond pitch and rhythm- including dynamics, accents, articulations, slurs, repeat signs, and tempo markings. The book&;s arrangement of simple to complex exercises lays the foundations for success.

 

 

Learning Goals

Upon completing this book, readers will be able to:

• Fluently read rhythms in simple and compound meters, including those in relatively unusual, irregular, or changing meter signatures.
• Sight sing melodies in any major or minor key, and in any diatonic mode.
• Effortlessly read all four common clefs.
• Understand common musical symbols and terms.
• Recognize and sing important harmonic features such as dominant seventh and Neapolitan chords.
• Improvise effectively from a variety of background structures such as a harmonic progression or an underlying contrapuntal framework.
• Negotiate chromatic passages from simple embellishing tones and tonicizations to modulations to post-tonal music.
