A New Approach to Sight Singing
Sixth Edition
21 July 2017
EFFECTIVE EXAMPLES FOR DEVELOPING SIGHT-SINGING SKILLS
A New Approach to Sight Singing features thousands of melodies, rhythms, ensembles, and sing-and-play exercises. For the Sixth Edition, melodies from the literature and newly composed melodies are presented in one chapter. Twentieth-century materials and rhythms have been revised to improve pacing; Roman numerals have been added to help students see the harmonic implications of melodic exercises; and ensembles have been expanded beyond the duets to include examples in a variety of configurations.
CLEAR ORGANISATION
The text is organised in four chapters by activity type—melodies, rhythms, ensembles, and sing-and-play—and within each chapter, activities are organised by difficulty, giving instructors the flexibility to focus on the activities of their choice.
