These standard sight-singing books have been favorites with choral directors and classroom teachers since their first publication in 1933. Each volume is a collection of folk tunes from around the world, carefully selected and organized to lead the student from simple rhythms gradually to more difficult ones. Intended to be sung without words (to a single syllable such as la, or to solfa), these books provide training in the full gamut of keys as they teach sensitivity to dynamics and phrasing.

An incredibly popular sight-singing method, this is based on the solfege system (with optional numbers) and gives you a step-by step plan for teaching your choir the fundamentals of sight-singing. By spending just 10 minutes a day on sight-singing, you will dramatically improve your choir's music skills in just a matter of weeks! The materials in Volume 1 include 334 diatonic exercises and a glossary of music terms, with an excellent instructional text in the Teacher's Edition. Volume 2 is a logical continuation of this method, or is for groups that are already proficient in solfege. It includes 244 exercises with an easy-to-understand approach to chromatics, and also covers such topics as more advanced divisions and sub-divisions of the beat, minor tonalities and more. An added feature of this method is an excellent supplement, the "Jenson Sight-Singing Part Exercises," which is a collection of 82 exercises for use with this or any other sight-singing program. Including rounds, 2, 3 and 4-part exercises, graded original material and excerpts from the choral repertoire, this is an excellent bridge between singing just "exercises" and true choral literature! This is exceptionally popular with your colleagues, so you owe it to yourself to examine this very carefully!

Two of America's most respected choral educators have combined their years of experience to design a powerful, effective sight-reading method for treble voices in elementary and early middle school. The concepts of rhythm and pitch are introduced separately at the beginning, but always within the context of measures so that exercises are musically interesting. Exercises that illustrate and reinforce each concept are combinable, so harmonic interest is introduced at an early stage, building rhythmic independence and better intonation. The result...painless part singing. One of the most important features of this method is the inclusion of actual songs, arranged with accompaniments, words and dynamics. The logical sequencing and careful reinforcement of musical concepts lead naturally to a broad musical understanding. Student confidence levels stay high because they really understand what they are doing.
