What would be the best way to self-teach how to sight-read and be able to sing pitch to sheet music?
I’ve been doing choir for a couple of years now and I’m missing out on the opportunity to be promoted to a higher level because I’m unable to sight-read and sing pitch from sheet music. I really want to move up, and everyone else in the class has taken singing lessons and things as children or when they were younger so we don’t cover much in class of that. (Weird to me I think, since we don’t learn that in class but are expected to learn! D: I’m willing to work for it though)

Sight singing can be difficult for some people, when untrained. I’m an opera performance major in college right now, and I’ve sung in musical theater, opera, and oratorio. In high school I participated in All-State festivals. I found when I was younger and untrained that it is very difficult to “self-teach” yourself how to sight-sing. I’d recommend, if you’re very serious about it, investing in a local teacher. Generally they’re not too expensive. You could pay around $15 bucks a lesson or so, one day a week. Nothing too crazy. It’s wise to learn from someone who has learned vocal pedagogy from at least an undergraduate level. How do you teach yourself to do something you have no knowledge about? So I would advise to find someone qualified to help you out. You seem like you’re sincere about willing to work at it, so give it a shot, and good luck!
