Choral Sight Reading: A Kodály Perspective for Middle School to College-Level Choirs, Volume 2: Kodaly Today Handbook Series

Autor Micheál Houlahan, Philip Tacka
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mar 2023
Choral Sight Reading provides a practical and organic approach to teaching choral singing and sight-reading. The text is grounded in current research from the fields of choral pedagogy, music theory, music perception and cognition. Topics include framing a choral curriculum based on the Kodály concept; launching the academic year for beginning, intermediate, and advanced choirs; building partwork skills; sight-reading; progressive music theory sequences for middle to college level choirs; teaching strategies; choral rehearsal plans as well as samples of how to teach specific repertoire from medieval to contemporary choral composers. This volume includes basic and advanced music theory concepts to develop fluent sight-reading skills for reading standard choral repertoire, providing examples for the process outlined in Chapters 6-8 of Volume 1 (Choral Artistry). This guide provides choral directors with a choral curriculum and choral rehearsal models that place performance, audiation, partwork, music theory, and sight-signing skills at the heart of the choral experience, through a 'sound thinking' approach to teaching that results in greater efficiency in creating independent choral singers with a well-rounded repertoire.

Recenzii

By covering a broad range of topics, from the logistics of running a school choral program to a thoughtfully-sequenced music literacy pedagogy, Choral Artistry and Sightreading are a significant contribution to the literature, and a compelling argument for the broad application of Kodály-inspired philosophy at any level.
These volumes cover a wide expanse of pedagogical practices for secondary and collegiate-level ensembles progressing from the step-by-step nuts and bolts to complex theoretical concepts. Furthermore, they provide a deeper understanding of processes for developing a solid singing foundation that are accessible for all levels of abilities - from beginners to more advanced ensembles.
Too many times I meet people who do not understand what is special in being a choral conductor, why does one need to study it. Their opinion is, that any musician can do it. This wonderful book answers this question. This book teaches you the real craft, what is 'behind the scenes', behind the well-trained and well-practiced gestures. It will take you through the steps in the process with great detail on every level. What we see on the stage, what we hear when a choir sings beautifully is just the icing on the cake. This book will show you the way to achieve it in a holistic, unhurried and honest way.
