Features: Sight-singing, in simple terms, is the ability to sing the pitch, duration, and intensity marked on a musical score immediately by looking at it (without any prior preparation). In terms of notation, the two main types of sight-singing widely used in China are simple notation sight-singing and treble clef sight-singing. In terms of solfege, there are also two main types: movable-do solfege and fixed-do solfege. However, whether it is simple notation sight-singing or treble clef sight-singing; movable-do solfege or fixed-do solfege, the fundamental principle of training remains the same. The only difference lies in the methods and sequence of training. Considering the diverse needs of different readers and to avoid unnecessary repetition, this book combines both simple notation and treble clef; movable-do solfege and fixed-do solfege for explanation. Each chapter is self-contained. When learning this book, readers can proceed from start to finish in order, or study specific sections independently based on their circumstances. It is also entirely possible to combine certain chapters and progress simultaneously. Detailed instructions will be provided in the book.
The main target audience for the book Li Chongguang on How to Practice Sight-Singing is, of course, the amateur music enthusiasts. However, it also holds certain reference value for students at music conservatories. Sight-singing is one of the essential and fundamental skills that must be mastered in learning music, with broad practical applications. Therefore, it is crucial to work hard to master it well. I hope this small book will be of assistance in your musical journey.
