I.
Introduction A. What the Research Says 1. No one system has emerged from the research as “most effective.” 2. Teacher attitude and consistent instruction appear to be stronger influences on sightsinging than the system used. 3. Instrumental participation is a much stronger predictor of sight-singing achievement than vocal ensemble participation. 4. A strong relationship exists between sight-singing ability and regular structured lessons, possibly sessions as short as two minutes. 5. Individual assessment and accountability appears to promote individual musicianship. 6. A consistent pedagogical continuity from elementary to high school may be a means to greater sight-singing achievement. B. Sight-Singing Systems Used in the US 1. Intervallic Recognition System
2. Seven-Syllable Fixed Do System
3. Chromatic Fixed Do with Solfege

4. Fixed Letter Names
5. Moveable Numbers
6. Moveable Do, La-Based Minor*

Two to Five Minute Lessons A. Rhythmic Training 1. Start with simple rhythms; build from where the students are. (see pages 5-9) 2. Read rhythms using syllables (ta, ti-ti, etc.) (see page 3) 3. Give rhythmic dictations. Quiz periodically. (see page 10) a. Listen carefully. b. Write what you do know. c. Don’t get bogged down with one note. d. Keep filling in on repetitions. e.

B. Pitch Training 1. Use some system consistently; provides foundation and anchor points. 2. Start with pentatonic scale. Use Curwen hand signs for your kinesthetic and visual learners. 3. Master steps and frequently used intervals first. 4. Moveable Do System 5. Progressively more complex: a. Solfege with hand signs and chart (see page 11) b. Solfege off the staff with rhythmic notation (see page 13) c. Solfege on the staff (Key of C only) with rhythmic notation (see page 14) d. Teach how to name and find do (Treble/Bass, line/space note names, sharps/flats, key signatures (see page 15) e. Solfege in various keys (see page 17) f. LOTS OF PRACTICE! (see page 18-19) 6. Give melodic dictations. Quiz periodically. (see page 20) 7. Quiz individual sight singing as often as possible (record in separate room; listen to individuals while others in the class work on test or projects; have students team up and listen to each other).
HAVE THE STUDENTS READ EVERYTHING IN THEIR MUSIC THAT THEY CAN POSSIBLY READ, EVEN IF IT’S ONLY A MEASURE OR TWO AT FIRST. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
