Sight-Reading
4-Minute Mastery™
Dear Music Educator:
Sight reading well is essential for building top-notch choirs. Fortunately, the ability to sight read is not a gift, but rather a skill that can be learned. Unfortunately, teaching sight reading is a challenge! We at Tools For Conductors have spent years struggling to find suitable materials – and adequate class time – to teach sight-reading effectively.
That’s why we developed 4-Minute Mastery™, a comprehensive program you can implement in your choral classrooms in just four minutes a day. On these pages you’ll find a quick introduction to 4-Minute Mastery along with several sample lessons. Explore them and see how this exciting tool can help your choirs at every level.
