Be the first to review this product

This book in the series contains written and sung excercises to be completed during lessons, as well as homework to reinforce principles learned in class.

If you've tried to learn to sight-sing before and failed, then this course is for you. Jonathan Rathbone has accurately identified what the process of reading music and turning it into sounds actually involves. And the wonderful thing is you don't need to be able to work out keys, clefs, minor thirds and augmented fourths etc. You just get on with singing accurately. (Softcover, 84 pp., 2005)

Additional Details
"It really is a complete system, carefully thought out with no stone left unturned to make the mysterious business of sight-singing more reliable. I think that the instructions to the teacher are particularly valuable. It is also fun and child-friendly, so should be very successful." - Clara Taylor (Chief Examiner, Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music)
