Sightsinging in the Secondary Choral Ensemble:
A Review of the Research
Abstract
This article reviews the research on sightsinging instruction and
achievement in the secondary choral ensemble and the variables that are
related to student success at both the group and individual level.
Research on instructional time, methods, materials, and achievement in
sightsinging will be divided into descriptive and predictive studies. The
article concludes with implications and suggestions for future research.
It is hoped that this information will stimulate further research in this
area that can help choral teachers better prepare their students to be
musically literate singers.
