A series of little books of short carefully graded folk tunes beginning with the simplest passages and progressing to more difficult leaps, rhythms, chromatics, and modulations. The later books introduce two-part sight singing.
This book investigates the pedagogical progression required to master sight singing through the systematic application of folk melodies. The authors, Annie Lawton, Edgar Crowe, and W. Gillies Whittaker, utilize a structured curriculum that builds musical literacy from foundational intervals to complex harmonic structures. By focusing on folk tunes, the text provides a culturally grounded framework for developing ear training and vocal precision.
