About this title

Synopsis

The Jenson Sight Singing Course (Vol. II) by composer and educator David Bauguess is a singer edition sheet music book in the Methodology Chorals series that teaches sight singing through the solfege system. Created for school choirs, choral directors, vocal educators, and singers in Grades 6-12, this volume provides a structured sequence of graded exercises for classroom instruction, choir rehearsal, and organized vocal study.

This edition includes 244 graded sight singing exercises written in unison, 2-part, 3-part, and 4-part formats. The material covers chromatics, syncopations, minor modes, and additional rhythmic and melodic concepts, while a comprehensive glossary of musical terms provides a convenient reference to support regular rehearsal and study. The music is presented in standard notation for singers participating in choral instruction.

The progressive organization of the exercises allows directors and educators to introduce new concepts in a logical sequence while giving singers frequent opportunities to strengthen sight singing accuracy and ensemble skills. Its practical format supports consistent rehearsal routines, making it a valuable classroom resource as well as an effective supplement to choir instruction. Whether used alongside the Teacher's Edition or independently as a singer edition, this volume reinforces fundamental sight singing concepts through carefully sequenced practice.

Part of the respected Jenson Sight Singing Course series, this volume is well suited for music classrooms, choir rehearsals, and vocal study programs for Grades 6-12. It also makes a valuable addition to school music libraries, choir collections, and instructional resources for directors seeking a structured approach to sight singing.
