Sight Singing – Opera Singers,Consevetoire Students,Singing teachers, Help!
How do you develop sight singing skills for bass and contrapuntal textures and Imitation?
I need to learn this for my aural component of my upcoming piano exam!
1) How do you sing the lower part of the score while being accompanied by the upper part ? I know about the solfa system but it doesnt seem to work when I’m out there trying to sightsing music thrown at you on the spot.
2) I am having problems singing contrapuntal textures.It is hard to listen to yourself sing when there are so many simultaneos layers of music(or even just 2 layers ie Bach) If it is hard to listen to yourself singing, How do you sustain your concentration ? I am always catching the melody instead of the bass and I tend to sing melody instead, when I m suppose to sing the lower part.
3) How do you warm up before singing to produce a beautiful tone? Is there some things you dont eat before practising singing?
Pls help, thanks a lot!

Can anyone give me some sight singing tips? I’m currently in my school’s concert choir, and I want to audition for the ‘better’ choir but you have to sight sing for the audition and I can’t sight sing very well as this is only the second year I’ve (ever) been in choir.
I really want to audition though!!

So can anyone give me tips on sight singing?
I sorta know how to do it…but I have problems figuring out what ‘do’ is when the key the is in a sharp or flat.
And I also get REALLY confused while I’m singing cuz I cant remember what is do and re and so on. >.<
