(Please note that this page is a repeat of the material from last week, since there are no sight singing lessons during Jazz Week. Please take the extra time to prepare well for your sight singing lesson that will take place in the week after Jazz Week.)
Sightreading
Instead of a warm-up, this week’s lesson will feature sightreading. You may expect any of the clefs, key signatures, time signatures, and rhythmic patterns we have studied to date, but there will be no tonicization or modulation. As always, rehearse carefully before you perform for your instructor.
Prepared Material
Previously, we studied modulations from tonic to dominant, or from minor keys to relative majors. This week’s examples modulate to other related keys. Before you begin, examine the accidentals in the scores. What modulation is implied? At the asterisk, change your solfege to that of the new key.
