Description: Sight Singing by Earl Henry combines traditional approaches to the subject with new and pedagogically effective innovations. The text is traditional in its inclusion of carefully selected melodies that encompass the entire range of Western music literature from the Renaissance to the present day. The text is innovative in its inclusion of substantial explanatory prose dedicated to teaching musicianship as opposed to presenting an anthology of examples. The book features newly composed studies that focus attention on a particular melodic or rhythmic problem alongside excerpts from music literature that highlight those same challenges within the context of great works of musical art. Each chapter centers on one melodic and one rhythmic problem. Analysis and composition projects allow new materials to be studied through a variety of approaches.
