Sight Singing Choir Bass

Bass Clef:

Solfa:

You will sing using the Tonic Solfa syllables:

do re mi fa sol la ti do

Moveable 'do', so you will learn to read in any key.

10 Levels:

There are 10 Levels of increasing difficulty.

sol mi
sol mi la
do mi sol
do mi sol la
do re mi sol la
do re mi fa sol
do re mi fa sol la
do re mi fa sol la do
do re mi fa sol la ti do
ti do re mi fa fi sol la ti do

Instructions:

When you click on a link in the RH column to a Level, a new full screen window will open, displaying that Level. The exercises use SCORCH. [New window]

Click on the Play button so start the Level.
Click on the Exit button to finish and close the Level's window and return to this page.

The Levels are set at a moderate tempo, but you can use the tempo sliding in the Scorch window to adjust the tempo if necessary.

Use the TRANSPOSE button to repeat the Level in different keys. This will help you get used to Sight Singing in all keys.
[Always Exit the Level and Close the window to "Refresh" the Scorch file between Transpositions]

10 Examples:

There are 10 examples in each Level.

Each example is a

	STATEMENT followed by your
	RESPONSE.

So, you need to

	WATCH (and Listen), then
	SING your response.

Note that the examples in some Levels have a "Swing Feel" accompaniment.

Examples 1-3:

In Examples 1 - 3, you will see and hear
both the STATEMENT and RESPONSE,
with their Solfa names given.

Examples 4-6:

In Examples 4 - 6, the Solfa names will be given in the STATEMENT, but not in the RESPONSE. You will need to sing the Solfa names unprompted.

Examples 7-10:

In Examples 7 - 10, no Solfa names will be given and you won't hear the pitches first, but just the accompanying chords. So you will have to:

	WATCH (and think the names and pitches without hearing them), then
	SING your RESPONSE.
