Free Activity: Sight-Singing Workshop

It’s (Sight) Read Across America day! Ok, we sort of made this up but why not? We all know the value of learning to read and sing music at first sight but it can be difficult to teach (especially when remote). To help students and celebrate this new holiday, we offer you a free sight-reading unit in a Google Slides format. Share it with your at-home students, or project it in class. It even comes with free access to SmartMusic for assessment tools!

Sight-Singing Workshop

This unit is taken from Sight-Singing Workshop , a sequential sight-singing resource in an easy-to-use interactive slide format by Andy Beck. Each of the 20 units begins with a Rhythm Drill (isolating rhythms), followed by a Pitch Pattern (practicing notes and intervals), and finishes with a Melody Maker (combining the concepts into a tuneful exercise). Embedded audio provides piano accompaniments for all 60 exercises, fillable slides invite singers to type in syllables, and answer keys immediately follow for self-evaluation. As a special bonus, the culminating exercise in every unit offers free assessment and recording powered by SmartMusic. Purchase your copy today!
