Par MILNE A.FORBES. For over fifty years, A. Forbes Milne's text has been the classic route to mastery of the art of sight-singing, an essential skill for vocalists and a most valuable study for all musicians besides. Preparing each section of carefully graded exercises in various keys with a detailed yet concise theoretical account, the author offers a thorough preliminary training in time, rhythm and pitch before proceeding to major and minor scales, groupings of rests, crotchets, quavers, semiquavers and triplets, and chromatic notes within non-modulating melodies. The method includes the so-called French time-names and Solfa note-names for those wishing to use them./ Livre / Livre

Par RADLEY ROBERTA. Ear player, schooled musician, or somewhere in between — this book will improve your ability to transcribe music, and help you make the connection between the music you hear and what it looks like on the page. This book defines a step-by-step process, the “ABCs,” toward achieving the goal of seeing what you hear, and hearing what you see. A simple formula is used for this process: Listening (ear training) + Analysis (brain training) = Successful Transcription. Throughout this book you will participate in a variety of listening, singing, playing, reading and composing activities, all designed to prepare you for the ultimate goal of writing down musical ideas — creating a finished transcription. The heart and soul of this book is transcribing “real music” examples. Throughout the book you’ll be working with over 300 songs from almost every musical genre. Teachers will find hundreds of pages of helpful ideas here that will augment your ear training instruction. / Methods & Tutors / Solfège/Formation Musicale / Tout Instrument
