American Folk Song Sight-Singing Series

Passed down through generations, folk songs have long been recognized as ideal tools for the teaching of sight-singing. Beginning with the most basic interval (the minor third so-mi), this collection of 170 folk songs is organized into a gradual progression from songs containing only those two notes through full pentatonic songs by the end of Volume One following the Kodaly sequence. Volume Two adds fa, then ti, progressing to full diatonic songs. Because singers start learning to read music at different ages, this series is available in two versions - one with song titles and lyrics for your younger students, and one with just the music for older students from middle school on up. Each version is available separately in a fully reproducible digital download format as well as a combined edition that contains both versions in their complete form.
