Alan Bullard’s award-winning Joining the Dots series now includes five books that develop sight-singing skills. By working through creative exercises and pieces students can prepare for ABRSM Singing exams. The books can also be used to build confidence in musicianship classes, as a resource for choirs or audition preparation.

Joining the Dots Singing covers the requirements for ABRSM’s sight-singing tests at Grades 1 to 5, and includes:
• workouts and simple songs, to build the rhythm and pitch skills required for the grade
• characterful pieces to sight-sing, in a range of approachable musical styles
• simple improvisation exercises in which students can explore ideas and develop their sense of rhythm and key
• songs and rounds to sing with others, for additional sight-singing practice or to learn quickly and sing for fun.
