Sight Singing Abilities for Singers
Q: I am a singer, wanting to improve my sight singing abilities (to improve my capabilities as a session singer). I am not quite sure about which of your books I should get. I have had some theory and can squeak by with sight reading… still, I think I would consider myself a beginner.
A: I think the best course of study for you would be studying out of 3 books.
Ear Training One Note Complete
Fanatic’s Guide to Ear Training and Sight Singing
Music Theory Workbook for All Instruments.
The two ear training books will get you going on a course of learning to reprogram your ears to hear correctly and therefore sing better. The theory book will help you develop your knowledge of music so it becomes more natural for you. If you feel like this is the course of study you want to do contact me after you get the books and I’ll help you with a practice schedule.
It is also recommended that you read Bruce Arnold’s Blog at his artist site. It contains more discussion of the musical topics found in these FAQs as well as other subjects of interest. You will also find the “Music Education Genealogy Chart” located here which shows you the historic significance of the music education products found on the Muse Eek Publishing Company Website.
