Your child started building the foundations toward becoming an excellent sight singer in the first lesson of the program in a single day class called "Sight Singing 101-The Game", and now they are ready to take the next steps toward becoming excellent sight singers using the proven method called "S-Cubed Sight Singing Program for Beginners" by taking Level 1. In this multi-day class format, students will continue to compete against Mr. D in the game, Forbidden Pattern. The game is an integral part of helping the students learn and become comfortable using the Kodaly based hand signs. In addition, we will begin using a technique called "Follow the Hand". This technique is going to help them prepare for reading real pitches off of the music staff accurately and confidently during Level 2. And lastly, we will start the process of ear-training which is a crucial part of singing well in general. Our ultimate goal with the ear-training is to help the students learn to self-assess and self-correct as quickly as possible while they sing. What will be taught? Solfege hand signs, Ear training What topics will be covered? Solfege hand signs, Singing sharp, Singing flat, Singing in tune What is the class structure? We start each of the multi-day classes with the game Forbidden Pattern, followed by an exercise called Follow the Hand which is followed by Ear Training exercises. How will I teach? I will teach "live". Students will be singing. What is my teaching style? My teaching style is interactive. What type of interaction with students get with me? I lead and teach for the entire class through the games and activities. I teach from the time we are on screen until we sign off. What experience is required? Students must have completed the first lesson in the program called "Sight Singing 101-The Game" before signing up for this class.
