Sound Patterns for Mixed Voices

(Choral). Designed for SAB mixed voice choirs, "Sound Patterns for Mixed Voices" teaches sight-reading skills quickly while singing "real music" from day one. This step-by-step method includes age and range appropriate songs with lyrics, dynamics, and accompaniment, along with preparatory exercises that are interesting, authentic, and flexible. This resource may be used with SAB beginners from approximately age 12 through 15 and for older singers with less singing experience. The sequential approach focuses on the keys C, G, and F, basic rhythms and simple intervals in the tonic, dominant and subdominant chords.
