Sight Reading:  The example will be in a comfortable range for each voice part. It will be in a major key, in 4/4 time. It will begin and end on the tonic. It will consist of scalar motion and triadic leaps. Rhythms may include whole, half, quarter and eighth notes, as well as dotted quarter/eighth combinations. Examples are posted below. Students will be given starting pitch and time to look at the example.  All methods of sight singing are to be accepted; solfege, numbers, neutral syllable, etc.
