Sing at First Sight Reproducible Companion, Bk 1: Foundations in Choral Sight-Singing, Book & CD (Sing at First Sight, Bk 1)

Best sight reading teaching tool on the market, in my opinion. I use it with my voice students ages 12-20 and each is making good progress. Progressively difficult exercises whose organization and explanation makes good sense. The regional children's chorus with whom I work also selected it for the entire choir (independent of my recommendation).

After searching for a sight singing book I decided to use this one. It begins easy and gradually becomes more difficult. I am using it with my high school choir but it could be used in the middle grades if you are serious enough about wanting the singers to sight read. I had no serious "I hate this" from any of them...although it's not their favorite part of choir. I use it as part of my warm ups. There is also a follow up book to this series and a teachers' guide.

I recommend this book to accompany the "Sing at First Sight" text book. It helps you to stay focused on each lesson, and it includes tests for each unit, plus a CD with all the songs!! Very helpful!!

Absolutely excellent. I'm using it with my middle school students and they're learning a lot. They're even -gasp- enjoying it! It's very sequential and begins with rhythm, then applies the rhythm to solfege examples. Kudos to Andy Beck!

A simple book to get my private piano students reading vocally. Being reproducible is huge for us. Thanks.

Item came in a timely manner. Excellent product!!

Very Satisfied

Perfect for teaching theory to non-instrumentalists.

The book is very simple and is graded so that there is progress. The sheets you can photocopy are a great and very useful.

Good book lots of material to learn from.
