Features: Sight-singing, in simple terms, is the ability to sing the pitch, duration, and intensity of notes marked on a musical score immediately upon looking at it (without any prior preparation). In terms of notation, the two main sight-singing methods widely used in China are simplified notation sight-singing and treble clef sight-singing. In terms of solfege, there are also two primary methods: movable-do solfege and fixed-do solfege. However, whether it is simplified notation sight-singing or treble clef sight-singing; movable-do solfege or fixed-do solfege, the fundamental training principle remains the same. The only differences lie in the training methods and sequence. Considering the diverse needs of readers and to avoid unnecessary repetition, this book combines both simplified notation and treble clef; movable-do solfege and fixed-do solfege for explanation. Each chapter is self-contained. Readers can study this book from beginning to end in order, or they can learn 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.
