Sequential Sight-Reading in the Choral Classroom
Sound Patterns
Designed for unison/2-Part treble choirs, “Sound Patterns” teaches sight-reading skills quickly while singing “real music” from day one. This step-by-step method includes age and range appropriate songs with lyrics, dynamics, and accompaniment, along with preparatory exercises that are interesting, authentic, and flexible. This resource may be used with unison and 2-Part beginners from approximately age 10 through 15 and for older singers with less singing experience. The sequential approach focuses on the keys C, G, and F, basic rhythms and simple intervals in the tonic, dominant and subdominant chords. The Teacher Edition includes access to online audio and projection slides.
