Sing at First Sight... More Melodies!: Choral Reproducible Book & Data CD

This companion book transforms sight-singing practice from a single-textbook experience into a flexible, layered curriculum. Rather than forcing all students through the same pace, you can assign these melodies strategically: immediately after each lesson in Levels 1 or 2 to reinforce emerging skills, as targeted review for students who need more repetition, or as warm-up material when you want to return to foundational work. The dual clef presentation and 104 pages of material mean you won't exhaust the resource midyear, and the reproducible format with included Data CD eliminates copying constraints entirely.

Clean, approachable melodic lines that build methodically without overwhelming. Each melody invites singers to apply specific skills in context rather than drill them in isolation, creating a sense of gradual mastery and growing confidence in reading.

This resource serves choirs working through Sing at First Sight Levels 1 and 2, whether you use the method as your primary sight-singing curriculum or as supplemental material alongside other approaches. Directors managing mixed-ability choirs will find the sequential difficulty and reproducible format especially useful for differentiation and independent practice assignments.

• Project melodies from the Data CD during warm-up rather than distributing copies; this keeps singers' eyes on you while they internalize patterns and builds ensemble focus.
• Rotate between treble and bass clef melodies within a single rehearsal to prevent readers from defaulting to one clef and missing the chance to strengthen flexibility across both.
• Use melodies as stand-alone sight-reading challenges before introducing them as technical drills; singers engage differently when the goal is fluency rather than perfection.
• Cycle through the same melody across multiple rehearsals at increasing tempos once accuracy is secure; this builds confidence and automaticity without requiring new material each time.

Open each rehearsal with one or two unfamiliar melodies as a quick sight-reading challenge to warm up the ensemble's reading reflexes, then assign melodies for solo practice between rehearsals, collecting them informally or using them as part of your choir's weekly preparation expectations. You can also print targeted sets for sectional rehearsals when one part of the choir needs additional work with a particular interval, rhythm pattern, or clef.

• Sight-reading fluency in both treble and bass clef
• Interval recognition and secure intonation across multiple ranges
• Rhythmic accuracy in the contexts presented across sequential lessons
• Independence as singers; ability to maintain a line without relying on ensemble support
• Confidence reading unfamiliar material at tempo
