Ear Training and Sight Singing cover

Designed to provide students with multiple strategies for ear training and sight singing, Ear Training and Sight Singing is a comprehensive series of exercises and techniques in all areas of the practical music discipline. It encompasses aural identification and written transcriptions as well as vocal performance of prepared and sight material. Suitable for use in ear training and sight singing courses for a 4-semester university or college programme anywhere in North America, this introduction provides a clear, logical presentation of the material, beginning with basic elements and progressing carefully through a graduated series of exercises and assignments that guides and monitors student progress. Loaded with practice repertoire, exercises, and assignments, and supported by an audio CD and a wealth of online supplements, Ear Training and Sight Singing provides the ideal one-volume introduction to aural skills that is excellent for student review and study.

"The author is not only a music expert-he is also an excellent communicator. . . . He understands that the journey to knowledge involves leading the student to discover, rather than simply using recitation and regurgitation of preset information." --Jennifer Knelman, University of Guelph "The integrated approach is very effective: written exercises within reading assignments and references to repertoire excerpts and pop music are included directly in the text, rather than in an accompanying anthology or another appendix. Addressing various musical aspects (i.e., melody, harmony, rhythm) in each chapter works well, and the ready-made drills and dictation exercises will be appreciated by instructors." --Heather Harty Scott, Douglas College
