A sequential sight-singing curriculum for all choirs.

The helpful "Getting Ready" pages (which precede each unit) are filled with music fundamentals, and for choirs who have never read music before, an optional "Before We Begin" chapter opens the book. And it's all a neatly laid out publication and a perfect fit for your students. From whole notes to sixteenth-note patterns, seconds to sevenths, key signatures, dynamics, articulations, and tempo markings; it's all here, and it's all logically ordered to insure student success! Spend just a few minutes a day with this book and your choir, too, will learn to "Sing at First Sight!"

Just as an artist must know every color in order to create a beautiful painting, a musician must know and hear all the notes of the musical "palette" in order to create good music. This ear training method has been developed to teach the student how to hear the way musical sounds are organized within a key. With proper application, the student will be able to: recognize notes without depending on an instrument; identify which notes other musicians are playing; instantly know what key a chord progression is in; sing or transcribe the notes in a given melody. This method differs ... in that it develops the ability to identify and name all twelve pitches within a key center. ... [A] student gains the ability to identify sound based on it's relationship to a key and not the relationship of one note to another--P. [4] of cover and p. [77]

Excerpt from Fifty Steps in Sight-Singing Ir is slowly beginning to be recognised that to be unable to read a single line of music at sight is, after all, rather a sign of ignorance. This is encouraging, and should be made the most of by all who have at heart the spread of musical education, and the consequent advancement of music in this country.
