Description
Joining the Dots Singing Grade 1 is a comprehensive sight-singing resource designed to help pupils build skill and confidence in reading music. With a focus on stepwise movement and staff notation, this book provides a wealth of material to support regular lessons and practice.
Used as part of a regular teaching approach, Joining the Dots Singing Grade 1 will help pupils develop their awareness of rhythm, pitch, and other general musicianship skills, preparing them for the sightsinging section of the ABRSM Grade 1 Singing exam. The book's activities and songs are designed to build performing confidence through creative and imaginative work.
Each Workout in the book is introduced through a 'singing back' exercise for teacher and pupil, promoting effective reading of staff notation using tonic sol-fa, numbered degrees of the scale, or any suitable syllable. This approach helps pupils familiarize themselves with the 'feel' of a key-centre and the way that pitches relate to it.
