Having this skill will enable me to be more of an asset rather than a liability in choral situations. So, I searched and found Jody through Wyzant. Jody makes it fun, yet a challenging experience. Jody is extremely patient! Jody has worked extra hard with me utilizing various techniques to get me to understand the concepts of sight-singing. It is never stagnant or by rote; Jody really keeps it interesting. In short, Jody is an awesome teacher.

Sight singing isn't rocket science, of course, but I had various reactions to it over time from avoidance to fear to questioning its value. Jenny is helping break down those barriers with her patient, understanding, and enthusiastic approach.

Elizabeth was an excellent tutor! She was kind, patient, and improved my ability of rhythm and sight singing very fast. I would definitely recommend her for anyone and am very thankful for her help. Overall, Elizabeth kept the lessons timely and was very reasonable with timing. She also was very friendly and fun to get along with. Would absolutely recommend as a tutor.

About Sight Singing

On Wyzant, students can connect with expert music instructors for personalized help with sight singing, whether learning online or at local studios. Sight singing is a crucial skill for vocalists and musicians that involves reading and singing music accurately at first sight, without having prior experience with the piece. This practice combines ear training, music theory, and vocal technique to translate written notation into sound. By learning sight singing, musicians develop the ability to recognize pitches, intervals, scales, and rhythms instantly, making it easier to learn new music, perform with others, and improve overall musicianship.

Sight singing involves using methods like solfège (Do-Re-Mi) or note names, understanding rhythmic patterns and meter, and practicing through structured exercises or apps like Sight Reading Factory. This skill helps students quickly interpret sheet music, internalize musical structures, and build confidence in performing unfamiliar pieces. With consistent practice and guided instruction, learning to sight sing can strengthen ear training, enhance musical memory, and improve pitch accuracy across musical genres.

Wyzant offers sessions with experienced instructors who provide personalized, step-by-step guidance for mastering sight singing. From beginner lessons on basic notation to advanced practice with complex rhythms and harmonies, students get the support they need to progress at their own pace. With flexible scheduling, affordable pricing, and tailored instruction, Wyzant empowers learners to develop practical singing skills, gain confidence, and enjoy making music.
