Progressive Kodaly Exercises

Presented in two volumes, available separately or as a complete set, singers are taken through the sequence of the Kodaly approach to sight-singing. The first volume is 200 Progressive Pentatonic Exercises which begins with Sol-Mi interval and gradually progresses to include the  complete pentatonic scale. The rhythmic content progresses similarly, beginning with the quarter note, and gradually adding additional note values. This volume also includes exercises centered on La (for minor mode practice), as well as other modal centers. A number of the exercises in this volume may be sung together as partner songs, and some as rounds, offering an effective means for developing vocal independence. The second volume is 175 Progressive Diatonic Exercises, which completes the progression by systematically adding Fa and Ti and more complex rhythms. Fully reproducible and available as a digital download, these volumes are reusable year after year in your music classroom.
