Sightsinging Complete

by Bruce Benward

Designed for the sightsinging component of the Freshman and Sophomore music major curriculum, Sightsinging Complete presents the essential components of this sometimes difficult skill in a practical and effective manner. The comprehensive and systematic approach emphasizes skill through literature, drawing most of the examples from actual pieces instead of devising contrived melodies. The new exercises in this edition will serve to refresh professors, even as the exercises educate students.

This is one of the delightfully vexing things in my life where somehow I've mastered the end while never learning the accepted means, so while I can make my way through life and even teach the basics of the thing to someone else, if I tried to pass a test given by an "expert" I'd fail because I don't know all the vocabulary and skills that people have come up with that are "necessary" to learn the subject. (Must not be so necessary?) How do I come to know things this way? My last flute teacher was probably privately puzzled at what I could understand and do, since I got kerflummoxed if she asked me using the proper terminology.
