The philosophies behind the development of the program...

• Music literacy and sightsinging ability is one of the most important skills that we can teach our students.
• The most effective and efficient way to improve the quality of a group is to make improvements at the individual level.
• Students are often inhibited from practicing or preparing on their own due to the lack of pitch reference.
• Built-in accurate reinforcement ensures students learn the concepts correctly.
• It is often difficult to devote as much time as we would like to sightsinging due to the performance aspects and desires of our curriculum.
• Students are attracted to innovative and engaging approaches in instruction.  Students will have incentive to practice when the activities are varied.
• Using technology such as computers and the internet is an attractive means of reaching students in their own environment.
