Format: Softcover with CD
These books have been written and designed for children who love to sing. The authors have shared the ways in which they have successfully taught children to master the basic components of musical literacy, theory, ear training, and sight-singing. A Young Singer's Journey consists of six workbooks and accompanying audio CDs, a booklet of sight-singing and warm-up exercises for each level, and a laminated keyboard. Children learn at different rates, and each child will approach these books with a different skill set. A younger child may be able to complete the books with little teacher direction at a faster pace. The marking pages will reflect the child's progress and show at a glance the pages that need more work. The CDs will reinforce and further teach the concepts on the page while training the child to hear and use the written material. A certificate at the end of each book may be signed by the teacher and awarded when the child has completed the book. The warm-up exercises include syllable songs, jingles, and exercises using the finger staff and keyboard. The authors hope that all children, instructors, conductors, and parents who embark on A Young Singer's Journey will find this journey enjoyable and satisfying, resulting in joyful learning and skillful singing.
