American Folk Song Sight-Singing Series

Folk songs have long been recognized as ideal tools for the teaching of sight-singing. All the rough edges have been worn off by generation after generation passing these songs on to their children. Starting with the most basic interval (the minor third: so-mi), Dr. Sanders has organized this collection of 170 folk songs into a gradual progression from songs containing only those two notes through full pentatonic songs by the end of Volume One following the Kodaly sequence. Volume Two adds fa, then ti, progressing to full diatonic songs. Because singers start learning to read music at different ages, this series is available in two editions: one with song titles and lyrics for your younger students, and one with just the music, for older students from middle school on up.
