SIGHT READING/SINGING

MODULE
Taken from Anton Dannhauser’s Solfèges del Solfèges

SOLMIZATION (n.) :
- a system of associating each note of a scale
with a particular syllable, especially to teach
singing.
- a.k.a. solmisation , solfeggio or solfège

WHY SIGHT SINGING IS IMPORTANT:

- Accurate singing with other voice parts, not chamba
chamba or bara bara; this will make singing more
enjoyable.
- If there are difficulties, you can go back and take
notes – permanent (meaning, relying on memory
will somehow fail you)
- The more songs we sing, the merrier we perform to
our listeners.

**after this module, all pieces you will encounter will be easier
and faster to learn. If not, libre ko kayo sa samgyupsal. 

Purpose of this module:

• To familiarize the pupil with 1) intonations & the 2)
durations of the music symbols

Practice of the skill:

of naming the notes. (ask if you didn’t get this).

Use technology to aid your learning:

• Download the apps Perfect Piano and
Metronome Beats in your android/tab/iPad.

Do the full value required, and no shortcuts:
