By-Sight

Students use these books for By-Sight practice sessions.

Each book is divided into several sections that introduce sight reading in a simple and fun way.
It starts out with rhythm clapping that will ensure success early on.

DouDou method splits the same note into 3 parts and in different ways to express a complete musical phrase. One will start with not keyboard playing, but only clapping the rhythm of the melody line. That is, no staff line will be associated with the notes. Then, one will read and sing, again without playing any instrument. Lastly, students will play on the keyboard or other instrument.
