SIGHT-SINGING is a modern ear training system, which makes use of solfge - undeniably the oldest and most recognized sight-reading method. By using this system, the student can learn to hear and sing a melody line, simply by reading the notes. The SIGHT-SINGING (vol. 1-3) books consist of more than 700 melodies and exercises. As you progress through the exercises, the difficulty will increase steadily. Very little prior knowledge is required of the student. Even if the book is used for independent study, with no help from a music teacher, the student need only know the names of the notes and how to find them on the piano. In this book (vol. 1), we will focus on the major pentatonic scale. In other words, we will begin our journey by practicing the syllables: do-re-mi-so-la. It is just five notes - but that is still enough to have a lot of fun. More information on http: //www.sightsinging.com
