For a First Grade teacher interested in teaching EASY sight-singing

I will send samples from the first grade music book, "Stand Middle Sit" for you to review, and get an idea how easy and fun my program would be to work with.


To work with my first grade material, you need:

1. A chalkboard or marking board with GIANT music staves to write on, and/or a way to project the material on a LARGE screen;

2. A pianist or someone to play and stop the accompaniment CD;

3. an assistant free to go around pointing under the notes in half-note pulse;

4. Manhasset (sturdy) music stands (which kind sits low enough?) and two children's seats placed in front of each stand;

5. one class-book for every two children seated in front of a stand;

6. funding to record and print the take-home book and CD, "Level Songs";


"Stand (5)

............Middle (3)

..............................Sit!" (1)
