A one-semester course

This course comprises a thorough introduction to basic sight-singing procedures. Using syllables in the fixed-do solfège system, students learn to identify, read, write, and sing melodic intervals of seconds and thirds in treble and bass clefs. Through weekly assignments, students work to develop a fundamental proficiency in major scales, key signatures, and rhythm up to the value of eighth notes. Placement interview required. Not subject to N.Y. Philharmonic discount.
