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.
