An Introduction to Tenor-Bass Sight Singing
Book 1
An Introduction to Soprano-Alto Sight Singing
Book 1
$65.00
$65.00
This sight singing book is written for introductory level Tenor-Bass choirs. The biggest challenge facing Tenor-Bass choirs is the fact that half of your choir is learning to read the treble clef while the other half is learning the bass clef. In addition to that the range of both parts are entirely different. This book is designed for each part to have their own page and lesson. The lessons are split so that each section learns the clef they actually read in and what fits their range.
Only one new concept is taught in each lesson (in the example below the tenors are learning to step up to So). This doesn't overwhelm the students with information. As each concept is taught it is reinforced with the exercises on the page. The page concludes with both parts harmonizing with one another. More practice and review pages are given throughout to reinforce previously taught material.

Book 2
More Skips, More Keys, More Parts
This book is designed as an introductory level sight reading book for two-part treble or soprano-alto choirs. This book was originally formatted for tenor-bass choirs using two clefs. I kept the outline and layout the same to accommodate mixed choirs which can use the combined books in octaves. Since treble choirs do not face the same challenges with vocal ranges as tenor-bass choirs, students could sing both the soprano and the alto pages in unison and split to harmonize for the “Practice” exercises. The current format instructs the sopranos to read the even numbered pages while the altos will use the odd numbered pages until it is time to put the parts together.
Only one new concept is taught in each lesson. This doesn't overwhelm the students with information. As each concept is taught it is reinforced with the exercises on the page. The page concludes with both parts harmonizing with one another. More practice and review pages are given throughout to reinforce previously taught material.
