Summer Sight-Singing Seminar

Week Five Daily Routine

1. Warm-up:

• Sing up/down the scale on solfege syllables, beginning on do, then la
• Sing the 3rds exercises, by step and by leap, beginning on do, then la
  
• Sing #2 and #3 on the Warm-up canon page in your binder on do,and la.
  

2. Do a 5-minute Sight-Singing session at Teoria.com
Set up the controls to suit your challenge level(the edge of the comfort zone). Here are examples of some middle-of-the-road settings. You'll be given a short melody. Use the process we've established, sing it, then play the recording to check your work.

• Starting on do, sing up to each scale tone, always coming back to do in between. Then try it coming down from high do (as below). Work toward accuracy and fluency.
  
• Using the same pattern, slow it down and name the interval between each pitch as you sing them---d-r, that's a 2nd, d-m, that's a 3rd...
  

• Build and sing a triad on each scale degree.  Do mi so mi do, re fa lafa re... use the video or do it on your own.
