I find myself referring to Sarah’s conscientious series of books and digital exercises daily. Students can check their rhythm, melody line, etc. The beauty of the digital program is the instant feedback. I use her digital sight singing exercises to reinforce rhythm, melody and interval training with my piano and guitar students. Sarah has sequentially placed the basic stepping-stones to music’s foundation in her theory books. I am constantly searching for a painless, but comprehensive way to teach music theory, note recognition, sight -reading, rhythm and all the other dynamics of music. Sarah Sandvig’s theory and digital sight singing books, although written for singers, prove helpful not only in my children’s choir but also in my piano and guitar studio. Professor and Chair, Division of Voice Studies UCLA Metropolitan Opera soloist and Prize-winning International recording artist For teens studying voice for the first time as well as for life-long adult singers, Music Theory for Singers will become a valued adjunct to any level of vocal study. Music Theory for Singers is equally applicable in a college classroom setting as in the private studio, and voice teachers will especially appreciate the inclusion of international musical terminology which their students are likely to encounter in vocal repertoire. Sandvig has capitalized on her experience as a successful private voice teacher to create these comprehensive workbooks which, in clear, concise language, lay out easy-to-follow lesson plans progressing from basic through intermediate skills. In Sarah Sandvig's Music Theory for Singers, singers, voice students and their teachers finally have a singer-friendly primer for basic musicianship and music theory that is directly applicable to voice training.
