FULL VOICE Workbook Level Overviews
INTRODUCTORY LEVEL
(Previously Early Beginner)
This level was specifically developed for young students ages 6-8 who are
brand new to music lessons. Concepts are introduced slowly with plenty of
review. There are many different types of activities that encourage young
students to build their confidence and their musical skills in the private
vocal lesson.

LEVEL ONE
For students who have completed the Introductory Level; for students age 7
and up who have introductory music experience (private, classroom, or
choral); for older students who are new to music lessons. Level One reviews
foundational musical concepts and introduces elementary level music theory.

LEVEL TWO
For students who have completed Level One; for students with previous
music experience who are confident counting eighth notes and sight
singing in C Major. Level Two continues to encourage confident,
independent singing skills. This level reviews musical concepts introduced
in Level One and introduces sight singing in F and G major.

LEVEL THREE
For singers who have completed Level Two or for students with
previous music experience who are confident counting dotted quarter
notes, singing and identifying intervals, and sight singing in F and G
Major. Level Three introduces sight singing in D Major.
