Music Ed Mentor Podcast #026: The Essentials of Sight Singing with Mr. D

While we all know we should devote some of our precious rehearsal time to sight singing, many of us (especially us instrumental teachers) don’t do it. If you feel like you already don’t have enough time to do everything you want to accomplish in class, perhaps you’re hesitant to take time away from that to help kids sing, when that’s not folks expect at your concerts. You might have questions like:

• What real benefits would sight singing offer my students?

• What’s the best way to introduce sight singing?

• How can I make it both relevant AND fun?

To help answer these questions, I’ve invited the guru of sight singing, Dale Duncan, to join us. Better known as Mr. D, he’s both an experienced educator and the creator of  S-Cubed, a sight-singing resource created to help you teach your students to sight read AND have fun while doing it.
