Karpinski's Manual for Ear Training and Sight Singing is the only aural skills text based on research into the most effective way to learn aural skills. This volume supplies instructions for every type of activity students complete in aural skills.

This volume features 79 short, flexible chapters, each of which introduces students to one new musical element. And unlike other aural skills texts, the Manual includes more than just exercises. Each chapter links written theory to aural skills and explains ow to hear and sight read.

Exercises helt students put what they've learned into practice. The second edition features a new chapter on pentatonicism, as well as all-new keyboard exercises throughout. Listening exercises feature real music, performed by real musicians.

Also available: "Anthology for Sight Singing (Gary S. Karpinski)".
