MSVMA - Sight Reading Resources

Sight Reading Practice Examples - Fa-Fi-Sol

The use of the accidental 'Fi' has always been allowable in MSVMA sight reading guidelines for high school intermediate. This season, there will be an example featuring this pitch. In an attempt to best prepare all MSVMA members for a successful festival experience, and to further student's sight reading ability, our fantastic SR composer, Andy Nowak, has provided a number of examples for directors to use throughout the year. Please use these resources to prepare this year!

Sight Reading is an important pillar of MSVMA festivals. While we were not able to offer a sight-reading component to 2021 virtual festivals, a sight reading committee was busy creating resources to help teachers and students. Thank you to Greg Cleveland, James Cumings, Jessica Nieuwkoop, and Brandon Ulrich.
