Introduction
Where is your Disclaimer? It is HERE Why are these pages here? To provide practice exercises for (my) singers. Can you teach me to sight-sing? You can teach yourself, although I can give you some hints. The best way is to sing lots of music but actually have the music in front of you. In schools in the UK too much singing is done with the pupils just looking at the lyrics. Are you a good sight-singer? Not as good as I would like. This is because I have Perfect Pitch and I used that as a short cut to singing what I saw on the page when I was young. I don't really judge intervals very well, although I now sight-sing in a different way. Looking at the context of a line and understanding the harmony into which my part fits I can glean a lot of information as I go along and anticipate where the music will go. It all depends on the composer's style and some music catches me out.
In fact, sight-singing in a choir is very different to singing along in my study with no accompaniment.
Do you want any feedback? Yes please, send it HERE Sight-singing worries me. Sight-singing worries a lot of people so do not be intimidated by it. Is there any good news for singers taking exams? I think so! The Associated Board sight-singing tests (in singing exams Grade 1-5) do not require you to sing any lyrics. You can focus on the notes and the rhythm. Are there any other good sight-singing websites? My links page is HERE. I'm not sure I have found any GOOD links though.
These pages are here for my pupils. You are welcome to use them. I do not work for the Associated Board. I cannot guarantee that the tests match the exact specifications of the sight-singing tests for their examinations; in fact I sure some of them do not. You use these pages at your own risk, but I appreciate feedback. [Send it HERE]
