Manual for Ear Training and Sight Singing

<p><strong>The <em>Manual for Ear Training and Sight Singing</em> and the <em>Anthology for Sight Singing</em> provide a comprehensive, research-based curriculum in aural skills.</strong></p> Informed by Gary Karpinski’s groundbreaking research on music perception and cognition and his two decades of practical teaching experience, this innovative package systematically develops ear-training and sight-singing skills based on how students actually learn. The <em>Manual</em> lucidly explains how to hear and understand the essential elements of tonal music by closely integrating aural skills with the basic concepts of music theory. The companion <em>Anthology</em> provides a collection of 1200 graded musical excerpts drawn from real music literature. Carefully coordinated with the <em>Manual</em>, this comprehensive anthology is flexible enough to support any aural skills curriculum or to be used alone as a sight-singing text.
