Singing in Music 2?? (1 Viewer)

[isabelle101]

If you do music 2 for yrs11-12, you have to do sight-singing or some sort of singing in the aural parts??

I'm really NOT a singer (probably tone deaf too...) so what should i do????

What sort of compulsory singing is part of the music 2 course?

yes sight-singing is 5 marks, and compulsory.

basically after (or before) your performance exam, the examiners will give ou about 2 lines of music, a tonic chord and the starting note. then you get 2 minutes to vocalise whatever you want, practise a bit. then they'll give you the chord and note again and you sight-sing it out for them.

they're not looking for a brilliant voice, they just want to hear the right notes, so it doesnt matter if your voice isnt brilliant

Wait, so, they give you the music and then you get two minutes to read over it and practice before they mark you on anything? So it's not sight-singing in the strictest sense... ?
