Preface for the Instructor
Progressive Sight Singing, Second Edition, is designed to help studems develop rhythmic
and melodie reading skills in aura! skills classes. Whether students are novices and need
basic instruction or have considerable background in music, they will find in this text the
information they need to read with accuracy and fluency. Through carefully paced
instruction and exercises, the text introduces concepts in a sequential manner and limits
explanations to the essemials, thereby increasing the likelihood of students' success in
attaining requisite aura! skills.
The material in this text is a symhesis of my formal education and my experiences
teaching musicianship skills to studems of various leveis and orientations: singers and
instrumentalists; music education, performance, composition, and conducting majors;
and middle and high school chorai and theory studems. The skill level of the majority of
the studems I encoumered was surprisingly weak. Those who had prior knowledge and
skills were missing crucial elements and were not truly independem musicians. To
address these needs, I developed materiais based on learning theory concepts that would
facilitate the developmem of independem, literate musicians. The first edition of this
book was successfully class tested ata number of institutions nationwide prior to publi-
cation. It was very gratifying to see how many schools and institutions adopted it and to
hear about the improvemems in student success rates.

The book is divided into rwo sections: Part I presems rhythmic exercises only, and Part
II presents melodie exercises. The rwo sections are designed to be used concurrently over
a four-semester course sequence. The separate presentation of rhythm and melody allows
each to be studied at a pace that suits the abilities and backgrounds of a particular class
or course schedule.

Chapters follow this sequence: Building Aural/Oral Skills, Symbolic Association,
Pattems, and Exercises. These sections reflect the literacy process incorporated in the
book, a process based on the pedagogy of learning sound before sight before theory. This
l
process is briefly outlined in the Musie Literacy Process that follows the prefaces.
Patterns
Tonal and rhythm patterns prepare the ear and eye for reading the "new" element or skill.
Melodie patterns are included when a "new" rhythm element is integrated into a tonal ele-
ment.
Exercises
Concepts and skills are presented through graded, newly composed exercises as well as
excerpts from folk and classical literature.

tems can be found in Appendix A. The moveable do system of solfege syllables, tonal
scale-degree numbers, and tonal and note names, ora neutral syllable such as "doo" may

be used for tonal and melodie reading. Scale degree numbers and do-based and la-based
solfege syllables are included in the chapters that focus on minar keys. A description of
basic tonal systems can be found in Appendix B. Any tonal or rhythm system can be used
successfully if that system is used consistently and incorporates the music literacy peda-
gogy presented in this book.

PREFACE FOR THE INSTRUCTOR xvii
Melodie exercises use multiple key signatures. Although reading in one key may be
quicker at first, using a variety of key signatures from the beginning yields the most flu-
ent reading skill. A number of melodie canons and ensemble exercises are included in
each chapter to aid in the development of part-singing skills.
Bach chapter includes ample exercises for classroom study and individual practice
outside of class.

facilitate independent study and drill outside the classroom, many of the tonal and
rhythm patterns introduced in the book are available in mp3 format on the accompany-
ing CD, prepared by John Moody. For easy reference, each pattern included on the CD
has an icon with the corresponding track number next to its appearance in the book.
Detailed strategies for approaching the exercises in the book are included in the front
matter under "Strategies for Successful Sight Singing."
Students should listen to each pattern while following along in the book, then echo
the pattern while singing ar chanting on appropriate syllables. After sufficient practice,
students should listen to each pattern without reading from the book, and then echo the
pattern using syllables.

Vocal-Pitch Exercises
Vocal-pitch exercises (intervals, scales, chords, and so on) are designed to aid in the devel-
opment of tonal vocabulary skills. Consistent practice is necessary to master the abiliry
to hear the tones as scale degrees in relation to the tonic pitch and tonic chord tones (Ref-
erence Tones). The exercises, written in solfege syllables, are located in a master list on
the companion website. Please note that pitches below the tonic are shown by a subscript
prime on the syllable (so and the octave above the tonic and all subsequent pitches
1
),
above the octave are shown by a superscript prime on the syllable (do'). The exercises
should also be sung using a variety of rhythm patterns to facilitate aural/oral preparation
before visually integrating tonal and rhythm patterns in symbolic notation.
background or letter colors are frequently used to indicate quality (major, minar, aug-
menred, and diminished). The graphs may be used on individual studenr computers or
in the classroom setting via a LCD projector or an overhead projector (graphs printed via
l
a calor printer on overhead transparencies). Consistem practice is necessary to master
these skills.

The ultimate goal of an aura! skills curriculum is to produce a musician who can look at
a musical score and hear it in his or her mind without playing or singing ir out loud. This
phenomenon is often referred to as "inner hearing," "aura! imagery," or "audiation." Con-
versely, a musician should be able to hear music and envision it as it would appear on the
printed page. ln short, we should be able to "hear with our eyes and see with our ears."
Singing melodies "at sight" (notes into sound) and writing dictation (sound into notes)
are crucial to developing interna! musical perception. These skills are also a means for
measuring one's progress toward achieving the ultimate goal. This text will provide you
with the training to develop your reading ability.
Reading melodies and writing dictation with accuracy and fluency are skills that
demand practice and concentration. The amount of practice time required to achieve pro-
ficiency varies from one srudent to another. Short, daily practice sessions are far more
beneficial than occasional marathon sessions. Ample material is provided in each chap-
ter for the determined student to achieve accurate and fluent reading. Learning strategies
that will aid in developing your reading skills are found in the book's front matter. The
retention of these skills is dependent upon their imrnediate and continued use in practi-
cal application. It is essential that you apply your reading and aura! skills during the
early stages oflearning solo (voice or instrument) and ensemble (choros, band, or orches-
tra) li terature.
The use of tonal and rhythm syllables is highly recommended as they provide a link
between the aura! and visual domains. Any tonal or rhythm system can be used success-
fully if that system is utilized consistently and incorporares the music literacy pedagogy
presented in this book. An overview of the basic rhythm and tonal systems can be found
in Appendices A and B, respectively. Your instructor will select the appropriate tonal
and rhythm systems for you and your classmates.
The book is divided into two sections that should be used concurrently: Part I pre-
sents rhythmic exercises, while Part II presents melodie exercises. The separate presen-
tation of rhythm and melody allows each to be srudied at a pace that suits your abilities
and background. Bach chapter is organized to reflect the literacy proi:ess incorporated in
the book. The process is based on learning sound before sight before theory and is briefly
outlined in the Music Literacy Process that follows this preface. Study the process and
notice how it relates to the chapter headings below.
Building Aural/Oral Skills: Bach skill or concept is introduced through the ear and voice
by imitating patterns, the basic unit of meaning in music. Part II also contains vocal-
pitch exercises (intervals, scales, chords, and so on) designed to develop the ability to
hear the tones as scale degrees in relation to the tonic pitch and tonic chord tones (Ref-
erence Tones).
Symbolic Association: Sounds learned by rote in the first section are translated into
music symbols. Chapters in Part II: Melodie Reading also contain staff-familiarization
exercises to aid in connecting the ear to the eye.

An Introduction to
the Music Literacy Process
Musical skills are learned in much the sarne order as language skills; first we hear and
perform, then we read and write. The ear must be trained through hearing and imitat-
ing patterns (Phase 1: aural/oral skill development) prior to training the eye (Phase 2:
symbolic association). The pattern is the basic unit of meaning in music, not individual
pitches or durations. ln other words, patterns are to music what words are to language.
Tonal and rhythm patterns should be learned separately at first and then integrated into
melodie patterns (Phase 3).
The use of tonal and rhythm syllables is highly recommended as they give names to the
sounds (see Appendices A and B for rhythm and tonal systems). To maintain the associ-
ation of tonal syllables and rhythm syllables with musical sound, tonal syllables should
be sung and rhythm syllables should be chanted. Ali patterns should be learned by rote
using the following two-step process.
Naming Sounds
Patterns should be reviewed regularly. Words Üke scale, chord, perfect fourth, and other
terms should also be associated with their sounds.

During this phase, you will be shown a symbolic representation of the tonal and rhythm
patterns learned during the "reading readiness" phase. The patterns sung or chanted pre-
viously by rote should now be sung following written notation. During the initial stages
of reading, silently tap the beat, conduct, or use hand signs with one hand and, if neces-
sary, track with the other hand. Focus on reading groups of notes (patterns) rather than a
series of individual notes. The farther ahead one reads, the better one's reading skills will
be. Flash cards will facilitate this process if each card is shown briefly and then hidden. Do
l
not write the syllables by the notes or you will learn to read only syllables and not nota-
tion. ln addition to reading, you should also compose and take dictation using these tonal
and rhythm patterns. A shorthand method for dictation is found in Appendix C.
ln Phase 3, the goal is to simultaneously be aware of tonality and meter and to read with
comprehension. Using the following multistep process will greatly aid in the develop-
ment of accurate melodie reading. l
Melodie Reading
Reading Readiness
1. Listen as your instructor sings melodie patterns with tonal syllables and then
echo with tonal syllables using hand signs, tapping the beat, or conducting.
2. Frequently practice singing known vocal-pitch exercises (scales, intervals, etc.)
J
on tonal syllables by rote while integrating a variety of known rhythm patterns.
Silently tap the beat, maintaining the down/up kinesthetic feeling of the beat
while integrating the hand signs minus the vertical pitch leveis. Exarnple: Sing
l
the extended major scale integrating a dotted quarter-eighth pattern by rote.

• Divide the class into groups. Bach group forms a line, one person behind rhe orher.
The insrructor will hand the last person in each line a card containing a short rhythm 1
partem. The student taps the partem on the back of rhe srudent in front of them.
This process continues until ir reaches the srudent ar rhe front of the line who rhen
writes or chants the partem. This acriviry can be clone as a competitive game.
• A four-measure melodie or rhythmic phrase is written on the board and read by the
class or an individual. One measure is erased and rhen the phrase is read aloud again,
including the erased measure. Anorher measure is erased, until nothing remains on 1
rhe board and everything is committed to memory. Gradually increase the length
from four-bar to eight-bar phrases, and so on.
Dictation Skills
The purpose of dictation is to produce a listener who can hear musical patterns. Dicta-
tion skills are directly related to rhe development of musical memory, inner hearing
(audiation), and reading and writing skills. Rhythm and tonal should once again be
taught separately and then combined. Initial dictation exercises should be based on
familiar 3- to 5-note tonal patterns and 3- to 4-beat rhythm patterns. Using the short-
hand method outlined in Appendix C can facilitate the leaming process.

Undivided Beat
Beat
The steady, underlying pulse of the music is the beat.
To develop an internai feeling of the pulse, one must feel the space (distance) between the
beats. Beat should always be inaudible-silent.
• Singing a familiar song, (a) walk in place to the beat, shifting weight back and forth or
side to side in a continuous, flowing manner, or (b) tap the beat (silently tap the thighs
with one or both hands, using large arm movements that start from the shoulder). Feel
the down-up motion of the hand on each beat. Note: Clapping will not internalize beat
because it doesn't involve changinglshifting body weight. Clapping, however, is a good way to
check the accuracy of ensemble performance.
Tempo
The speed of the beat (fast, moderate, and slow) is the tempo.
0 Sing "Hot Cross Buns" or another familiar melody at a moderate tempo, then at a fast
tempo, and finally at a slow tempo.
Meter
An organization or grouping of rhythmic pulses by means of regular accents (strong and weak
beats) is called meter.
Duple
Duple meter has an accented-unaccented (strong-weak) beat pattern: 1 1
Hot cross buns, Hot cross buns.
Meter: 1 1 1 1
• Practice performing the beat using tap-touch (silently rouch the finger tips of both
hands together) or two taps (one strong, one weak) while listening to or singing a
variety of songs in duple meter. Suggested songs: "Old Joe Clark" and "Tidy-0."
• Practice singing each of the suggested songs while conducting the two-beat pattern.
Tripie
Tripie meter has a strong-weak-weak beat pattern: 1 1 1 1 1

Quadruple
Quadruple meter, a strong-weak-semistrong-weak beat pattern, is a combination of rwo duple
meters with a lesser accent on the third beat: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Tufo - kle, twin - kle, lit - tle star. - - - How I won - der what you are. - - -
Meter: 111111111111 1 1 1 1
• Practice performing the beat using tap-touch-out (tap in air just above the
thighs)-touch while listening to or singing a variety of songs in quadruple meter.
Suggested songs: "Hymn to]oy," "FréreJacques," and "Yankee Doodle."
• Practice singing each of the suggested songs while conducting the four-beat patrern.
Rhythm
Rhythm is defined as longer and shorter sounds and silences (duration) rhar overlay the steady
beat.
• Chant the rhythm of familiar songs on a neutral syllable while your instructor overlays
l
the steady beat. Suggested songs:'"Happy Birthday" and "London Bridge."
• After chanting the rhythm to a familiar song, half of the class should chant the rhythm
while the other half claps the beat; repeat with the two groups exchanging their tasks.
Now chant the rhythm while walking to the beat.
Notes
The written symbols for sound in music are notes.
1 Note to instructors: The rhythm patterns are found in Section 1.3. These patterns should be taught by rote
using the two-step process oudined in the Musical Literacy Process section of the Preface.

Types of notes
Parts of a note
~ stem Stems are attached to the note head and extend
up on the right or down on the left.
~ head Note heads are oval in shape.
Note heads are open for whole notes and half notes
and solid for quarter notes.
Rests
The written symbols for silence in music are rests.

Meter Signature
A meter signature is used to designate rhe pattern (duple, tripie, quadruple) in which a steady
succession of rhythmic pulses is organized. ln simple meter the top number indicates the
number of beats per pattern and the bottom number indicates the kind of note that receives
one beat.
Vertical lines called bar fines are used to organize the basic beat patterns. One complete partem
is termed a measure and is enclosed between two bar lines. A double bar line is used to indicate
the end of a section or the composition.

1.4. Exercises
0 Determine the meter and then scan each exercise for rhythm patterns.
• Determine the phrasing and mark it.
• Set an appropriate tempo, establish meter by tapping the beat or conducting for one
measure, then chant the exercise on rhythm syllables from beginning to end without
breaking the tempo. Always silently tap the beat with the dominam hand, and if nec-
essary, track the notes on the score with the other hand.
• Remember to hold every note for the correct number ofbeats. A note ends exactly when
the next note or rest begins.
• After the initial reading, isolate problematic patterns or measure(s) and practice them
more slowly. Then perform the problematic pattern/measure(s) and the previous
measure/pattern. After the patterns/measures have been chanted accurately, read and
chant the exercise again.
Q After the exercise has been chanted accurately, repeat the exercise first at a faster tempo
and then chant on a neutral syllable. Always silently tap the beat or conduct.
0 Occasionally use a metronome to check for steadiness of tempo.

The exercises can be performed as a two-, three-, or four-part ensemble by simultaneously per-
forming exercises with the sarne meter signature and sarne number of measures, or they can also
be performed as a canon or retrograde canon (also known as a crab canon). ln a canon, two or more
voices perform identical rhythms; each voice enters at a constant time interval (one measure,
two beats, etc.) after the previous voice has begun. ln a retrograde canon, one voice enters with
the last note and reads backward; simultaneously the second voice enters at the beginning.
Meter Changes
Changes in meter can produce a unique effect, because stressed beats occur at irregular inter-
vals. When the meter changes within an exercise, stress the appropriate beats for each meter.

Anacrusis
Compositions sometimes begin with an incomplete measure called an anacrusis. The notes that
complete the initial measure appear at the end of the composition. Measure numbering begins
with the first complete measure. An anacrusis is also known as an upbeat or pickup. Sing
familiar songs that begin with an anacrusis. Suggested songs: "The Star-Spangled Banner,"
"O Come Ali Ye Faithful," and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."

Dictation Skills
Dictation skills are directly related to the development of musical memory, audiation, and
reading and writing skills. Using a shorthand method can facilitate the learning process. See
Appendix C for detailed information.
J
• Listen as your instructor or student partner plays or chants a neutral syllable rhythm
pattern from Section 1.3, and then notate the rhythm. As your skills improve, gradu-
ally increase the length of each dictation exercise. All or part of each exercise in Section
1.4 can be used for dictation. i

Beat
Beats can be divided into smaller groups of twos (down-up motion of each beat).
• Alternate chanting the macro beats and micro beats on a neutral syllable or the rhythm
syllables advocated by your instructor. Feel, see, and hear that there is only one sound
for a macro beat and two sounds for the micro beat.

• White your instructor claps the micro beat, sing a familiar song and tap the beat. Feel
the down-up motion of each beat. Suggested songs: "It Ain't Gonna Rain" and "Polly-
Wolly Doodle."
Meter
Meter as indicated by a meter signature is identified as "simple" or "compound" according to
rhe micro beat (divided beat). The beat is usually divided into two equal parts in simple meter
and three equal parts in compound meter.
Compound meter will be discussed in detail in Chapter 5.
• Sing a vatiety of songs in simple meters. Divide the class into two groups. One group
should sing and tap the beat while the other group uses the metric motions (tap-touch)
and chants the micro beat using rhythm syllables. Feel, see, and hear that there are two
sounds on each beat, one on the down motion and one on the up motion. Suggested
songs: "Down in the Valley," "Old Joe Clark," "This Old Man," "She's Like the Swal-
low," "Scarborough Fair," "Ali the Pretty Little Horses," and "Simple Gifts." Repeat
with the two groups exchanging their tasks.

Common Time
The symbol C signifies common time and is the equivalent of the meter signature ! ,The sym-
bol e is not an abbreviation for common time; it is a relic from a system of notation used dur-
ing the Middle Ages. During this time the geometrically "perfect" circle stood for tripie meter,
the number three representing the "perfection" of the Holy Trinity. An "imperfect" half-circle
stood for duple or quadruple meter.

The duration of a pitch may be extended by the notational symbols of the tie and the exten-
sion dot.
'Tie
The tie (bind) is a curved line that connects two or more consecutive notes of the sarne pitch.
The second note is not articulated, and the result is one sustained unbroken sound that lasts
the combined duration of both notes. Ties are often used to notate a duration that extends
over a bar line.

Extension Dot
An extension dot (also called augmentation dot) is written to the right of a note head and increases
the duration of a note by half of its original value. The extension dot eliminares the necessity
of writing the tie and the extra note value it represents. Extension dots are not used to extend
a duration over a bar line.

Tempo Markings
Beats in music can move at different speeds. The speed of beat is indicated by a tempo marking
written above the staff at the beginning of the composition. Tempo is usually indicated by
Italian terms: however, French, German, and English terms may also be used.
TempoTerms
Slow Moderate Fast
Adagio Andante Moderato Allegretto Allegro
slow, at ease walking speed moderaee speed moderaeely fase, fase, quick, lively

0 Sing a major scale or a familiar song using each of the indicated tempo markings.
Tempo may be indicated precisely by a metronome, a mechanical apparatus that can be adjusted
to sound any numberof beats per minute. For example a metronome marking ofM.M. j = 60 indi"
cates that the tempo of the music is sixty half-note beats per minute, or one per second.

The initials M.M. stand for "Maelzel's Metronome." Johann Nepomuk Maelzel (1772-1838)
patented the apparatus as a metronome in 1816; however, the metronome was invented around
1812 by Dietrich Nikolaus Winl<ler (e. 1780-1826). 1

Meter
Meter is described as simp!e if the beat divides into two equal parts and compound if the beat
divides into three equal parts. As with simple meters, compound meters may be dup!e, tripie,
ar quadruple with the sarne patterns of accented and unaccented beats.
• Perform each of the six types of meters in the following manner:
• Tap the beat with one hand and the divided beat with the other hand.
• Tap the beat and chant the divided beat using rhythm syllables.
• Chant the beat using rhythm syllables and tap the divided beat.

Compound Meter Signature
ln compound meter, the beat is a dotted note that divides into three equal parts. Because there
isn't a number that corresponds to a dotted note, the bottom number of a compound meter sig-
nature indicates the rhythmic value of the division of the beat, not the rhythmic value of the beat
as in simple meter.
g
eighth note is the division unir J. = beat unit
The top number of a compound meter signature indicares the number of divisions in each
measure. The upper number is usually 6, 9, 12, or another multiple of three.
To determine the number of beats in each measure, divide the top number by three.
• Following are excetpts of songs in compound meter. Divide the class into two groups. One
group should sing and tap the meter while the other group sings and taps the divided beat.

· Rhythm
. Rhythms may be organized into cross-rhythms, where two different beat divisions occur
simultaneously.
• Divide the class into two groups. One group should tap the beat, chanting the beat
divided into three (triplet), while the other group taps the beat, chanting the beat
divided into two (duplet). Feel, see, and hear that. there are three sounds (ta-ki-da) and
a circular or down-up-up motion on a beat for triplet eighth notes, and two sounds .
(ta-di) and a down-up motion on the beat for dupler eighth notes. Exchange tasks.
• Rhythms may be organized into patterns or motives. Sing "Heavenly Sunshine" and tap
the beat or conduct. Analyze the rhythm patterns in the song. Feel, see, and hear the
difference between the tripler and the duplet eighth-nore patterns.

Syncopation
Syncopation is the "momentary contradiction of the prevailing meter." 2 When an accent is
placed on a unstressed beat or unstressed beat division, a syncopation occurs. For a syncopation
to occur, it is essential that the prevailing meter is maintained.
Types of Syncopation
Accent on an unstressed beat
A note that is louder than nearby notes is a dynamic accent.
DYNAMIC ACCENT ON AN UNSTRESSED BEAT
Simple Duple Simple Tripie Simple Quadruple
Parti
Part II
• Divide the class into two groups. One group should quietly tap and chant the beat,
accenting the unstressed beat as indicated in the fitst measute of Patt I, while the othet
group taps the beat and chants the beat division, accenting the beat of the tradicional
simple duple meter as indicated in Patt II. Exchange tasks. Repeat using simple tripie
and simple quadruple meter.
• For examples see Chaptet 4, exercises 1 and 2.
Following a rest or tied note ending on a beat
An accent is also pecceived on a note that follows a rest (Example 1) ot a tied note
(Example 2) that ends on a beat. The syncopated notes ate indicated with an astetisk (*).

Rhythm Motives
• Sing the round "I Gota Letter" (Exarnple 1) and the spiritual "Nobody Knows the Trou-
ble I've Seen" (Exarnple 2) while rapping the bear or conducting. Analyze the rhythmic
motives and !acate the syncopated notes. Norice that the point of syncopation occurs on

*A dupler is a two-nore group resulting from irregular division of a compound beat; borrowed from simple meter.
Reading Readiness Rbythm Patterns
• Listen as your instructor chants a variety of rhythm patterns using rhythm syllables;
echo each pattern while (a) quietly tapping the beat, (b) conducting, or (c) using the
appropriate metric motion (tap--touch). 1
• Divide the class into two groups. The first group taps the beat and chants the divided
beat (micro); the second group reads the rhythm patterns using rhythm syllables while
tapping the beat or conducting. Exchange tasks. Repeat until ali of the patterns have
been read and chanted by each group.

* The irregular division of a beat into three equal parts is also known as brJrrfJWed beat.
• Read and perform each of the above irregular beat divisions while (a) quietly tapping
the beat, (b) conducting, or (e) using the appropriate metric motion (tap-touch).
• A sextuplet may be performed in three ways. The accents should be virtually inaudible,
as they are used only to denote the groupings. Read and perform each of the sextuplet
patterns below while (a) quietly tapping the beat, (b) conducting, or (e) using the

Measured Tremolo
The division of the beat is frequently notated by a measured tremo/o. The rhythmic value of the ·
note indicates the duration of the tremolo, the arabic numeral indicares the number of divi-
sions, and the number of slashes represents the number of beams.

Hemiola
Hemiola is a type of syncopation that results in a temporary shift in meter from simple to com-
pound ar vice versa. For example, the accents in a measure with six eighth notes shift from two
groups of three eighth notes (compound duple) to three groups of two eighth notes (simple
tripie) or vice versa. Hemiola also results if a compound pattern (quarter/eighth) is superim-
posed on simple meter. Chant one part and tap the other part.
Three notes in the space of two beats Two-beat pattern in the space of three beat:s
>- >-
J. J J )JJ )! li
w li
Notice that the division of the measure is changed rather than the division of the beat (duplet
uu uu
and triplet).
The hemiola pattern is most often three half notes in the time of two ! measures (one beat to
a ! measure). Chant one part and tap the other part.
Two notes in the space of three beats
J. = 1 beat
li
Superduplet
A superduplet is a cross-rhythm composed of two notes of equal value in the space of three beats.
This figure is often referred to as "two against three" and may be notated in severa! different
ways. Notice that the second version has the sarne visual appearance as a coinmon pattern in
compound meter. Chant one part and tap the other part.

Mixed Meters
When simple and compound metets ate mixed, eithet the beat ot the division of the beat
remains constant. The equivalence (j) = j) or J = J. ) is shown at the point of the change.
Division Constant
The speed of the eighth note remains constant throughout. Consequently, the beats are of
unequal length. Tap the eighth note or use a metronome set to the eighth note to ensure the
steadiness of the division as the meter changes. When conducting, you will speed up when
moving from compound to simple meter and slow down when moving from simple to com-
pound meter.

Beat Constant
The quarter note in simple meter equals the dotted quarter note in compound meter. Conse-
quently, the speed of the eighth note changes. Use a metronome to set the beat, conduct, or tap
the beat to keep the beat constant while chanting the rhythm using rhythm syllables. When
the beat remains constant, your conducting will maintain a steady pulse.

lntervals
An interval is the distance in pitch between two tones; all intervals are identified numerically
by counting both of the tones and the pitches spanned by the two tones.
• Sing the ascending intervals from the tonic and the descending intervals from the fifth
scale degree. Verbally label the quantity of each interval prior to singing the interval.
Begin to recognize these intervals by sound.
• Soltege: Second: do - re - do; Third: do- mi -do; Fourth: do - fa-do; Fifth: do - so -do;
Second: so - fa - so; Third: so - mi - so; Fourth: so - re - so; Fifth: so - do - so

• Sing the intervals of a third ascending from the tonic and descending from the fifth
scale degree. Begin to recognize these intervals by sound.
!Note to instruccors: The tonal patterns are found in Section 1.3 and should be taught by rote using the two-step
process outlined in the Musical Literacy Process section of the Preface.

Tonictriad
A tonic triadis a combination of three tones arranged in thirds (tertian) and built on the home
tone or keynote; the lowest note is called the root, the middle note is called the third, and the
top note is called the fifth of the triad.
• Sing the tonic triad as a chord (tones are sounded simultaneously, creating harmony-the
vertical aspect of music) and as an arpeggio (notes of a chord sung one at a time). 1

Reading Readiness Aural Skills
0 Listen as your instructor sings on a neutral syllable or plays cwo tonal patterns and then
determine if the patterns were the sarne or different.
• Sing the tonal syllables indicated by your instructor either via hand signs or rhe tonal ladder. 2
0 Listen as your instructor sings a known tonal pattern on a neutral syllable, then notate
the pattern using the tonal syllable or scale-degree numbers in graphic form to illustrate
the tonal contour of the pattern.

Notes
A note is a musical symbol which, when placed "on a line" or "in a space," indicares a speci:fic
pitch. A note is "on a line" if the line runs through the center of the note anda note is "in a
space" if the outside of the note touches the surrounding lines.

• Tonal syllables can be used to name the notes. Using tonal syllables, sing the following
patterns, first following the tonal syllables and then following the notes on the staff.
- - - -
Intervals
Ali interva!s are identified numerically by counting both of the tones and the lines and spaces
spanned by the two tones. On the staff, a second moves from a space to a line ora line to a space;
a third moves from a space to the next space or a line to the next line; a fourth moves from a
space to a line or a line to a space skipping a line; a fifth moves from line to line or space to
space skipping a line or space respectively.

Appendix B for a description of tonal reading systems.)
• Establish tonality by singing a tonic-chord arpeggio. If necessary, transpose the pattern
into a key that provides a comfortable range.
• Set an appropriate tempo, quietly tap severa! preparatory beats, and then sing the
pattern a cappella with one beat per note head. Always silently tap the beat or conduct,
and if necessary, track the notes on the score with the left hand.

Vocal-Pitch Exercises
Sing each of the following drills daily.
Pentachord scale
• Sing the ascending and descending additive pentachord scale using tonal syllables. Start
on various tonics and always maintain an even pulse. Sing the exercise again, integrat-
ing a variety of rhythm patterns: quarter--quarter-half, and so on.
Intervals
• Sing the ascending intervals from the tonic and the descending intervals from the fifth
scale degree. Verbally label the quantity of each interval prior to singing the interval.
• Sing the intervals of a third ascending from the tonic and descending from the fifth scale
degree.
Tonic triad
A tonic triadis three tones arranged in thirds (tertian): root, third, and fifrh.
o Perform the tonic triad as a chord (tones are sounded simultaneously, creating
harmony-the vertical aspect of music) and as an arpeggio (notes of a chord sung one at
a time) as an ensemble with your classmates or at the keyboard.
3Nore to instructors: The tonal patterns are found in Section 1.7 and should be taught by rote using rhe
rwo~step process.
174 PART II. MELODIC READING
A combination of three tones arranged in thirds (tertian) and built on the home tone or tonic is called
the tonic triad. The lowest note of a triad is called the root, the middle note is called the third of the
triad, and the top note is called the fifth of the triad. Notice that on the staff the tonic triad will
appear either as space notes ot as line notes. When ali three tones of the tonic triad are performed
simultaneously it is called a chord; when they are perfotmed separately it is an arpeggio.

• Determine the starting tonal syllable and then scan each exercise for tonal and rhythm
patterns.
• Establish tonality by singing a tonic-triad arpeggio that fits the range of the melody.
If necessary, transpose the exercise into a key that provides a more comfortable range.
0 Set an appropriate tempo, establish the meter by quietly tapping the beat for one
measure, and then sing the exercise from beginning to end without breaking the tempo.
Always quietly tap the beat.
• After the initial reading, isolate problematic measures and practice them more slowly.
Check to make sure that every note is held for its full duration. Sing the exercise again.
Q After the exercise has been sung accurately, repeat the exercise, first at a faster tempo and
then using a neutral syllable while tapping the beat. Ali exercises should be sunga cappella.

Clef Signs
A symbol called a ele/ is placed at the beginning of the staff to indicate the pitch of the notes.
Music for high voices and instruments will usually be written in treble ele/, or G elef. The sym-
bol is an ornamented letter G used in early notation; the final curve of the symbol indicates the
pitch "G" on the second line. Music for low voices and instruments will usually be written in
bass ele/, or F elef The symbol is an ornamented letter F used in early notation; the beginning
of the curve, guarded by the two dots, indicares the pitch "F" on the fourth line.
1
The musical alphabet consists of A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Notice that each line and space repre-
sents a basic pitch of the musical alphabet. As notes ascend on the staff, the pitch names move
forward in the musical alphabet. As notes descend, the pitch names move backward. Avoid
the use of old <levices like "Every Good Boy Does Fine," as this results in slow readers and
defeats the intent of the staff (sequential hierarchy of pitch from low to high). Drill the names
oflines and spaces from bottom to top and top to bottom.

Key Signature
A key signature is a grouping of the sharps or flats placed at the beginning of a staff to indicate
the key, or tonality, in which the music is written. The rules for finding the starting tonal
syllable from a key signature are as follows:
• For sharp key signatures, call the sharp farthest to the right ti or 7; assign a tonal
syllable to each line and space until the starting pitch is reached.
• For flat key signatures, call the flat farthest to the right/a or 4; assign a tonal syllable
to each line and space until the starting pitch is reached.
• If there are no flats or sharps, then C is do or 1; assign a tonal syllable to each line and
space until the starting pitch is reached.

Vocal-Pitch Exercises
• Sing each of the following drills daily.
Majorscale
A major scale is a series of seven tones in a specific pattern of whole and half steps. The small-
est distance between two tones is a half step or semitone. Half steps occur between mi and fa
(3-4), and ti and do (7-1 '). Two half steps combine to form a whole step. Whole steps occur
berween do - re - mi (1 - 2 - 3) and fa- so - la - ti (4- 5 - 6 - 7). The major-scale pattern
is whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half. Please note that a major scale is two major
tetrachords (WWH) connected by a whole step. [WWH} - W - [WWH}.
• Sing the basic major scale. Listen for the half steps and whole steps.
0
Sing the extended major scale using all quarter notes ora quarter-quarter-half rhythm
pattern.
• Sing the additive major scale using a half-quarter-quarter or quarter-quarter-half
rhythm pattern.
0 Sing the pentachord major scale using a variety of rhythm patterns.

Major Key Signatures
To determine the name of the major key, (a) call the sharp farthest to the right ti ar 7, assign a
tonal syllable to each line and space until do ar 1 is reached, and determine the letter name of
do ar l; (b) call the flat farthest to the right/a ar 4, assign a tonal syllable to each line and space
until do ar 1 is reached, and determine the letter name of do ar 1; ar (e) if there are no flats ar
sharps, then e is do ar 1.
• For each key signature, (a) determine the major-key name and (b) notate the tonic triad.

TonicTriad
A triad is a group of three pitches termed tertian, built of superimposed thirds. Triads are
named according to their lowest pitch, ar root; hence, a triad built on the tonic, ar first scale
degree, is referred to as the tonic triad. The triad's other pitches are its third and itsfifth, terms
that correspond to rhe sizes of the intervals these pitches form with the root.
Inversion of Triads
When the root of a triad is the lowest-sounding pitch, the triad is in root position; when the
third of the triad is the lowest-sounding pitch, the triad is in first inversion; when the fifth of
the triad is the lowest-sounding pitch, the triad is in second inversion. Sing each of the pat-
terns using tonal syllables.

• Sing each of the following drills daily.
Scales
• Consult the key signature and determine the tonic keynote. Write (a) the scale-degree
number, (b) the scale-degree name, and (e) the tonal syllable for each of the notes.
Remember the seventh scale degree in major is called a leading tone (half step between
7 and 11), and in minar the seventh scale degree is called subtonic (whole step between
7 and l').
• Sing each of these patterns using tonal syllables.

Triads built on each scale degree in the major scale
A triad (three notes arranged in thirds) may be formed above each degree of the major scale.
Triads are named according to the lowest pitch, or root. Roman numerals are used to indi-
cate a triad's root (corresponds to the scale degree) and its quality (an uppercase numeral for
major, a lowercase numeral for minar, and a lowercase numeral followed by a degree circle
for diminished).

Form
The smallest meaningful melodie-rhythmie enrity is called a motive. A motive that is repeated
on a higher or lower pitch levei is called a sequence. A phrase is a complete musical statement or
idea; it is comparable to a line in poerry. Phrases can be progressive (quesrion) or terminal
(answer) depending upon the final scale degree of the phrase. The final pitch of a phrase con-
stitutes the melodie cadence. Progressive melodie cadences typieally end on the fifth, second or
,.
seventh scale degree; terminal melodie cadences typieally end on the tonic or third. Musie that
is void of reperition or variarion of material is called through-composed.

Vocal-Pitch Exercises
• Sing each of the following drills daily.
Harmonic minor scale
In the harmonic minar scak, scale degree seven (te/sol,,7) is raised a halfstep (ti/si/~7), giving the scale a lead-
ing tone that strengthens the feeling of tonic. Listen for the augmented second, one half step larger than
a major second, that appears between the sixth and seventh scale degrees (/e- ti, /a - si, or >6 - 7).
• Sing the ascending and descending harmonic minar scale.
• Do-Based Minar So!fege: do-re- me-fu- so-le-ti-do' -ti-le-so-fu-me-re-do

3Frequently composers will use the ascending form of the melodie minar scale in descending passages.
Consequently the ascending and descending intervals formed by the raised 6th and 7th scale degrees to the
tonic must be drilled.

Dominant Triad (V)
The root of the dominant triad is a stable tone (dominant-fifth scale degree), but the third
(leading tone-seventh scale degree) and fifth (supertonic-second scale degree) are active
tones. Notice that the third (ti/7) and fifth (re/2) of the dominant triad are a scale step below
and above the tonic tone (doll), respectively.
• Sing each of the melodie triads using tonal syllables.
Melodies contain chord tones and nonharmonic tones. The most common types of nonharmonic
tones are passing tones (connect two different chord tones by step) and neighbor tones (connect two
chord tones of the sarne pitch by step).
• Label chord (CT), neighbor (NT), and passing (PT) tones in the following melodies and
then sing each melody using tonal syllables.

The melodic-harmonic partem that occurs at the end of a phrase is called a cadence. Cadences
are either terminal (ends on the tonic chord-very stable) or progressive (ends on the dominant
chord-unstable, implies continuation). A harmonic cadence that moves from V to I is called
an authentic cadence and a cadence that ends on V is called a half cadence.
• Label the type(s) of cadences in each of the melodies (1 and 2).
• Verbally label the Roman numeral and quality of each triad prior to singing each
melodie triad on tonal syllables.

10.5. Building Aural/Oral Skills: Dominant Seventh Chord,
MinorMode
Readiness Tonal Patterns
e Listen as your instructor sings a variety of tonal patterns in minar; echo each pattern. 2
Vocal-Pitch Exercises
Chromatic scale
• Sing the ascending and descending chromatic scale (twelve half steps) using tonal syllables.
Ascending and descending intervals mrwing out from the tonic in the minor scale
0 Verbally label the quality and quantity of each interval prior to singing each interval
using tonal syllables.
• Using tonal syllables, sing the intervals integrating a variety of rhythm patterns.
Dominant seventh chord (V7)
When the fourth scale degree lfa/4/re) is added to the dominant triad, an interval of a seventh
is formed above the tonic of the dominam chord, hence the name, dominant seventh. By adding
the fourth scale degree (subdominant), an active tone, to the already active dominant triad, the
dominant seventh chord has addirional impetus to move to the tonic. Notice that this four-
note chord contains both the V and vii° triads. 1
• Sing the tonic-dominant seventh triads as melodie triads using tonal syllables.
0 Using tonal syllables, sing each i - V 7 progression integrating a variety of chythm
patterns.

482 PART II. MELODIC READING
Secondary Dominant
Chromatically altered chord tones may imply tonicization - any major ar minar diatonic triad other
than the tonic heard temporarily as new tonic. This new tonic is often preceeded by its own domi-
nant (secondary dominant). l
• The following are tonicized chords that may be encountered in traditional harmony.
Sing each using tonal syllables. Establish the tonic of the original key (do/li/a) prior to
singing each pair. 1

Chapter 22
Chromatic Alterations:
Modulation
~~:1. ,~I~,?o!ic~~~~~~~~tl-,,~~-,~-~---~~-~'~""~~·~~~"'"~~~,-~
l
While tonicization is a temporary shift to a new tonic, modulation tends to be a clearer estab-
lishment of the new tonic. The line between modulation and tonicization is not always clearly
defined, and the aura! perception may differ from person to person. One listener may find that
the tonicization is strong enough to make a convincing modulation, while another listener
may not. This is frequently the case in VN. The secondary dominam may visually appear to
be a modulation to the dominam key: however, it may sound like a half cadence or an imme-
diate return to the original tonic for some listeners. This isn't a case of right or wrong: rather,
it is just the interpretation of different listeners. Modulation to keys other than the dominam --i
are usually more convincing.
• The keys that are closely related to C major and C minar are shown below.
EbMajor
(relative major of e)
fminor
(subdominant)
Aj, Major
(relative major of f)
g minar
(dominant)
BbMajor
(relative major of g) j
Distantly related or remofe keys
Key relationships other than rhose above are known as distantly related or remate keys. For
example, a modulation from C major to D major would be classified as distantly related and
could be described as a modulation to the dominam of the dominant. A modulation from C
to Eb major is a modulation to the relative major of the parallel minar. Modulations to remate
keys tend to be more abrupt, as there are few pitches in common.

N eapolitan Triad
J
The Neapolitan triad, symbolized N ar µr, is a major triad built on the lowered second scale
degree. Practice singing melodically the tonic to supertonic triads and tonic to lowered super-
tonic triads (root position) in major and minar modes. Notice that one accidenral is required
to spell the chord in minar, and two are required in a major key. Listen for the change in
quality (mode) between the ii and µr.

Note to instructors: The tonal patterns are found in section 23.3.

Neapolitan Triad
Notice that the Neapo!itan triad, symbofüed N or i,II, is a major triad built on the lowered sec-
ond scale degree. One accidental is required to spell the Neapolitan triad in minor, and rwo are
required in a major key. lt commonly appears in first inversion (N6) and is referred to as
"Neapolitan sixth chord." The chord functions the sarne as the ii chord and most often occurs in
a predominam role in harmony. ln melodie writing it is rare to find ali three pitches (Exercise 1,
3, 8, and 11); far more common is the use of only one or rwo notes, one of which is the >2.

Modes • ~.
l
For many centuries before the development of the major-minor tonal system in the seventeenth
century, most Western music was based on modes, diatonic seven-tone scales known variously
as the medieval modes or church modes. During the twentieth century composers one again turned
to modes. Modes are also prevalent in folk tunes. Notice the arrangements of the whole and
half steps; most of these scales feature a subtonic rather than a leading tone.
1. The modes can be found by playing a 2. Modes can be transposed to begin on any
white-note scale starting on each of the pitch. Notice the relation of the tonic of
white keys on the keyboard. Sing each of the mode to the key signature. Sing each
the modes. of the modes starting on C.

Appendix A
Rhythm
Reading Systems
Numerous rhythm syllable systems are available to aid in the study of rhythm.' Depending
upon the system, syllables are based on beat functions, time values of notes, position of notes
in a measure, ora combination of these. The syllables provide a link between aural/oral vocal-
ization and visual identification.
Regardless of the system used, the macro beat should be monitored by (a) silently tapping
the thighs with one or both hands, using large arm movements that start from the shoulder(s);
(b) silently tapping the macro beat in one hand and the micro beat in the other hand; (c) walk-
ing in place to the macro beat while silently tapping the micro beat; or (d) conducting.
Developed by Edwin Gordon, James Froseth, and Albert Blaser, the system is based on beat
function: a different syllable is assigned at the beat (du) and division leve! (simple meter-<lu,
de; compound meter-<lu, da, di). Notice that this is not true at the subdivision levei; the
sarne syllable (ta) occurs in more than one location within a beat (see Figure 1). Within sim-
ple or compound meters, the sarne syllables are used regardless of notation. Specific syllables
for common rhythm patterns are shown in Chart A. Note that the originating syllable is sus-
tained for notes of more than one pulse or notes elongated by a tie or extension dor.

The Gordon system does distinguish between usual meters and unusual meters (see Figure 2)
by substiruting the consonam "b" for the consonant "d" at the division leve!. The subdivision
level still uses "ta" in more than one location within a beat. Note that in unusual meters, one
must switch from one division type (du-be) to another (du-ba-bi) and vice versa.
1A history of rhythm systems can be found in Edwin E. Gordon's Learning Sequences in Mrtsic (Chicago: GIA
Publications, 1997), 69-83.

Richard Hoffman, William Peito, and John White developed the Takadimi Rhythm System
to teach basic rhythm skills to college-level srudents who Jack the requisite skills. Specific syl-
lables are assigned to a location within a beat (see Figure 3). ln simple meters, "ta" is used for
any attack on the beat, the division of the beat is "ta-di," and the subdivision of beat is
"ta-ka-di-mi." ln compound meters, the attack on the beat is once again "ta," the beat divi-
sion is "ta-ki-<la," and the beat subdivision is "ta-va-ki-<li-da-ma." Note that within an
individual beat division the initial consonant changes but the vowel sound remains the sarne l
(simple meter: ta-ka, di-mi; compound meter: ta-va, ki-<li, da-ma). Note that syllables are _J
also provided for irregular divisions within the two types of meter.

APPENDIX A. RHYTHM READING SYSTEMS 539
Specific syllables for common rhythm patterns are shown in Chart B. The authors recommend
muting the nonarticulated syllables (shown in parentheses) in complex rhythms with tied pat-
terns and rests to improve performance accuracy.4 The Takadimi Rhythm System can also be
used with unusual meters (see Figure 4) by switching berween duple division syllables (ta-<li)
and tripie division syllables (ta-ki-<la).

Developed by Irvine McHose and Ruth Tibbs for conservatory students at the Eastman School
ofMusic, the system combines metric counting and rhythm syllables. Any note occurring on
the beat is articulated with that beat's ordinal number; syllables are assigned to the division
(simple meter-te; compound meter-la, li), subdivision (ta for both simple and compound
meters), and borrowed division (simple meter-la, li; compound meter-te) of the beat (see
Figure 5). The sound of the rhythm will always be associated with the sarne syllables; however,
the visual represenration of the rhythm will change depending on the beat unit. Specific syl-
lables for common rhythm patterns are shown in Chart C. Notice that the originating sylla-
ble is sustained for notes of more than one pulse ar notes elongated by a tie or extension dor.
No provision is made for distinguishing between usual meters and unusual meters. This sys-
tem requires "the presence and formal understanding of meter before the syllables can be
_applied, thus limiting application in aura! contexts."6

540 PROGRESSIVE SIGHT SINGING
The syllables in this system are based on those devised by Hungarian composer and pedagogue
Zoltán Kodály, as well as the French Galin-Paris-Cheve system. ln this system, syllables are
assigned to specific notational values. Notice that the sound of the rhythm will always be asso-
ciated with the sarne syllables; however, the visual representation of the rhythm will change
depending on the beat unit (see Figure 6). Beat function is not addressed; if it were, then a
macro beat followed by a micro beat would be "ta ti" not "ti ti."7
Specific syllables for common rhythm patterns are shown in Chart D. Note that the vowel
sound varies for elongated notes (toh, too) and that the vowel sound is pulsed on extension
dots and tied notes. As soon as skills ate sufficiently developed, the originating syllable should
be sustained. The system lacks a ptovision for distinguishing between usual meters and
unusual meters.

Appendix B
Solmization
Solmization is a system for teaching music reading in which pitches are designated through
syllables rather than letter names. The earliest system of solmization to survive into modem
use is associated with Guido d'Arezzo (e. 995-1050), a Benedictine monk, choir master, and
music theorist. Guidonian solmization is based on the text and tune of the eighth-century
hymn "Ut queant laxis." The syllables sung to the six initial tones of the first six tines of the
hymn are ut, re, mi,fa, sol, and la. Around 1600 the syllable si was added and ut was changed
to do. Eventually extra syllables were added for chromatically altered notes, and the syllable ti
was substituted for si, so that the seven basic syllables begin with seven different consonants.
The terms solftge, tonic sol-fa, andfasola ali refer to this sarne basic system of music reading.
Currently solmization is applied in two different ways, m1JVeable do and fixed do.
The syllables do, re, mi,fa, so, la, and ti are assigned to the degrees of the major scale. Do always
represents the tonic or first degree of the major scale,fa the fourth or subdominant, so the fifth
or dominant of the scale, and so on.

When a melody modulates, the new tonic becomes do. For example: A selection begins in D
major, so the tonic note "D" is called do. A modulation changes the tonal center to A major,
therefore the tonic note "A" will now be called do. This method aids rhe study of harmony, as
the relationship between scale degrees is emphasized. To be successful, students must master
the ascending and descending syllables. This method fosters the development of vocal tone
because the syllables use pure vowels.
Altered pitches are accounted for by changing the syllables. The ascending chromatic scale
is do, di, re, ri, mi,fa,fi, so, si, la, li, ti, do. The descending chromatic scale is do, ti, te, la, !e, so,
se, /a, mi, me, re, ra, do.

APPENDIX B. TONAL READING SYSTEMS 551
Numbers
The numbers 1, 2, 3, and so forth, are assigned to the degrees of the scale in the sarne manner
as the moveable-do system except that there is no numeral change for chromatic tones. The
numbet method gives instant results because every student knows the ascending and descend-
ing numbers; however, skipping numbers while counting backwards often results in confu-
sion. The method also inhibits tone production and accutate accidentals. To be successful,
students must acquire thorough aural/oral knowledge of intervals.

The syllables do, re, mi,fa, so, la, and ti are assigned to the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, and B respec-
tively. The syllables are not changed for chromatic tones. To be successful, students must

pronounced us, bess, cess, des(k), es(t),/es(t), andjes(t). To be successful, students must have a

The use of hand signs as a kind of notation can be traced back to the Guidonian Hand
ancient Hebrews and Egyptians. During the eleventh century, the
Guidonian hand-a pedagogical <levice where each of the solmization
syllables (ui, re, mi,fa, sol, and la) was assigned to one of the joints of
the left hand,-was employed to aid music reading. Thete is no evi-
dence that Guido d'Arezzo invented it.
ln England during the nineteenth century, Sarah Glover designed
hand signs to be used in association with the tonic so!fa system.
Glover's hand signs and "moveable do" system were embraced and
populatized by John Curwen (1816-1880), an English churchman and
influential educator. The work of Glover and Curwen greatly influ-
enced Zoltán Kodály (1882-1967), who integrated the use of hand
signs into his methodology.
552 PROGRESSIVE SIGHT SINGING
Hand signs are concrete and provide singers with a kinesthetic experience as well as a
visualization in space of the high-low pitch relationship between notes. While the hand signs
can be frustrating at first, they appear to establish memory of pitch patterns more securely
than if they are not used. Signs are made in front of the body using the dominant hand. The
hand signs are illustrated as the person making them with his right hand sees them. Hand
signs can also be employed when using numbers.

Dictation /,;
Dictation skills are directly related to the development of musical memory, inner hearing
(audiation), and reading and writing skills. Rhythm and tonal should once again be taught
separately and then combined. Initial dictations should be based on familiar three- to five-note
l
tonal parrerns and three- to four-beat rhythm patterns. Using the shorthand method outlined
next can facilitate the learning process while musical memory skills are developed. The ulti-
mate goal is to develop the student's levei of proficiency to such a degree that the system is no
longer needed.

Rhythm Procedure: Write with one hand and quietly tap the beat with the other hand. Fol-
lowing the down/up motion of each beat can be an aid in determining the rhythm. Isolate ]
each beat and mark the appropriate shorthand. If the rhythm on a particular beat or two can-
not be determined, continue to move forward focusing on the ensuing beats. On the second
playing, readdress the missing beats.

Rhythm Shorthand: Lines representing the beats are drawn in each measure. Notes with a
duration longer than one beat are tied together for the appropriate duration; rests are repre-
sented by an uppercase "R"; a triplet is represented by a three; a syncopation by an "S" anda
bracket; a double subdivision of a beat by a single slash, a quadruple subdivision of a beat by
J
a double slash, and so forth. Suggested symbols for various rhythmic patterns follow.
