Melodia
The classic sight-singing guide Melodia is now available in a flexible fully reproducible digital download format for use year after year. Purchase the entire course, or just a section or two. In 200 pages, and over 1,500 unison and two-part melodious exercises, the series leads the student from the simplest of scales to the most complex music a choir is likely to encounter in traditional music.The normal range of average voices is carefully observed. The two-part exercises are all written so that they may be inverted, the bass part being sung by treble voices, and the treble part by the bass voices; or they may be sung by treble voices only or by tenor-bass voices only. The first series consists of 424 melodies of gradually increasing complexity that guide your choir through the sight-reading process, starting with simple scales, and progressing to complex, diatonic, stepwise melodies. Subsequent series develop reading skills further, methodically introducing chromatics, intervals, rhythms and modulations. Whether you use Melodia as your primary method, or as a supplement to other methods, you’ll find plenty of reusable material suitable for any level of sight-reading development.
