Sight-reading Practice for Final Exam
Go to your assignments tab on your Sight Reading Factory app and choose either Level One Practice with Numbers or Level One Practice with Solfege. Practice an unlimited number of times, then advance to Level two, then level three. I will allow you to use either provided numbers or solfege with your sight-reading examples for the exam and the audition. Spend 10-20 minutes each night on this and you will speed your way through the sight-reading portion of the exam (not to mention the audition)! All seniors will take the sight-reading portion of the exam on May 13 and all underclassmen will take it on the 17th. Don't forget to go the to AUDITION tab to find the link for sign-ups.
