Sight-Sing a Song (09971136) – Music Reading for the Elementary Classroom
How can I teach my students to sight-sing when I have them for such a limited class time? “Sight-Sing a Song” will help you do just that. This well-designed approach by teacher and choral director Audry Snyder progresses in an easy step-by-step manner. Each lesson includes helpful teacher tips that focus on the music concepts being presented along with a teaching sequence to use when presenting each exercise. This book also includes two student reproducible pages filled with sight-reading exercises. The songs and exercises are presented in the keys of C major and F major so the students will experience movable “do.” A CD is also included with the performance and and accompaniment tracks.
