Udemy Learn Sight-Singing for Choral Singers

Sing with confidence, accuracy, and musicality - straight from the score.
This comprehensive course is designed for choral singers of all experience levels who want to improve their sight-singing skills and feel more secure in rehearsals and performances. Whether you sing in a church choir, a community chorus, or a professional ensemble, these skills will help you sing more accurately, respond quickly to a conductor’s instructions, and enjoy your singing even more.

Through clear, step-by-step lessons, you’ll learn how to:

Recognise intervals and common melodic patterns
Understand rhythm and metre at a glance
Use key signatures and scales to find your starting notes
Apply sight-singing techniques to real choral excerpts
Strengthen your inner ear and musical memory
Maintain pitch and rhythm even without accompaniment

The course combines practical exercises with real-world examples drawn from a variety of choral styles and periods, helping you bridge the gap between music theory and live performance. You’ll develop proven strategies to approach unfamiliar music with confidence, avoid common sight-singing pitfalls, and adapt quickly during rehearsals.

In addition to improving accuracy, you’ll build the musical independence to hold your own in any section of the choir - even when other voices are singing different parts around you.

No complicated theory - just practical, accessible tools that make your choral singing easier, more accurate, and more enjoyable. By the end, you’ll be able to open a score and bring the music to life with confidence, clarity, and expression.
