Mus 2: Sight Singing for the HSC (1 Viewer)

[chepas]

Is there a way to get the sight singing exams in the prac from the HSC? Because I really have no idea what to expect and the sight singing we have done in class just seems too easy to be true. Is it like the AMEB sight singing thing like when the examiner plays an interval and they say 'name that interval' or something?!?!?

What happens?

they play the tonic chord and starting note. you then have 2 minutes to see it, and you can make as much noise as you like. then they play the tonic chord again and the starting note and you are off.

just don't freak out about it. thats the main thing

1) they'll always give you a sight singing in the key that you can sing, ie they won't give guys something too high.

2) it's all relative. don't be fooled by people who go, i can't sight sing because i play a transposing instrument. thats just a poor excuse for crap relative pitch. unless y'all have perfect pitch, theres no reason why sight singing shouldn't be easy. think of the melodic lines in steps and leaps rather than in actual notes.

thats about it really. oh and it's marked out of 10 and i got 10/10 for my last sight singing exercise not that i'm bragging or anything. lol.

Heh, right throughout years 11 and 12 I got every note right in every sight-singing exercise. Then in the exam I was doing great until the final interval. THE LAST INTERVAL OF THE LAST SIGHT SINGING EXERCISE I WOULD EVER HAVE TO DO WAS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! I even told myself in the practice time to be aware of it when I got there because it was an unexpected sort of ending. Never mind. They truly are dead easy. Eight bars. Ask your teacher for harder ones in modes rather than 'normal' keys.
