Description

Lay the foundation for successful part-singing with this unique and valuable resource.

This book provides a step-by-step path for teaching young choirs how to sing harmony, building a bridge that transitions between elementary and high school music reading. Perfect for middle school, this can be easily adapted for younger and older singers. Each step in this book offers several songs that will give choirs the practice they need to master each type of harmonization.

Any of the songs found in Steps 1-6 can be easily added to your daily warm-ups, laying the groundwork for successful harmonization. Steps 7-8 offer mini-arrangements of familiar melodies that are designed for successful part-singing. These arrangements will be an important bridge leading to more accuracy in your regular performance octavos.

The enclosed CD-ROM includs mp3 recordings of piano accompaniments and a folder of PDFs of the piano/vocal scores for projection or printing options.
