Progressive Sight Singing [Spiral bound]

.Designed to help students who enter the music theory sequence with very little formal training master essential sight-singing, ear-training, and rhythm skills,Progressive Sight Singingprovides a step-by-step introduction to the underlying grammar and syntax of musical structure and prepares students to perceive that structure with both the ear and the eye. Working from the premise that students learn musical skills in much the same order as they do language skills, the book trains the ear first--through hearing and imitating patterns--before teaching students to read and write. Its rich variety of well-paced, graduated exercises provide ample opportunity for practice.Get the most fromProgressive Sight Singing.
