The ability to bring meaning to music notation without the assistance of an accompanist playing choral parts is a requisite skill on a musician’s journey to self-reliance and full artistic expression. Despite its importance, high performance expectations pose a challenge for choir directors to allocate discrete rehearsal time to music reading skill development. Consider for a moment an embedded music reading system that facilitates choristers’ ability to read their choral octavos; a process that develops rhythm and tonal musicianship and gives choristers the tools they need to learn music on their own. This bookintroduces an adaptable, literature-based choral music reading approach that empowers young singers with music literacy skills that point beyond the choral rehearsal and encourage independent and group music making for a lifetime.

Miceli’s Skill Building Sequence for Choral Ensembles takes advantage of our greatest musical gifts - our voices, ears and bodies - and systematically trains them to associate sound and body movement to the symbols of the musical language, empowering the young musicians of today with the gift of language, so they can be a musically literate, musically fluent generation.

Music scholar, teacher and performer, Jennifer Scott Miceli contributes much to musical pedagogy in her Teacher’s Guide for Children’s Choir. It is an ingenious and imaginative volume, which will most certainly engage the minds and hearts of its users. Movement and healthy singing principles throughout a variety of illustrated musical periods, styles and cultures, enhance aural understanding of tonality and meter.
