Patterns of Sound Vol 1

Don't read notes, read patterns of sound! This unique sight reading course fortreble voices in elementary and early middle school does just that! PATTERNS OF SOUND uses excellent voice leading, careful sequencing and musically interesting exercises that can be combined to strengthen part singing, pitch relationships and to develop rhythmic independence. Volume 1 starts from square one, assuming no previous training, with exercises that are so carefully sequenced that the students are quickly singing four-measure phrasesand eight measure songs in two parts and finding it easy! Students are introduced to notes, rests, meter, pitch and unison/2-part songs in Volume 1, and continue in Volume 2 with dotted rhythms & syncopation, keys & key changesand more 2-part songs. Use it every day and watch your students' confidence level grow! Recommended for Grades 3-8.
