<p>Bassdad, I was interested in your perspective on sight singing. My daughter tends to be a "leader" in her choral groups, and I think it is in large part because she has very strong sight-singing skills. She not only hears the notes in her head (although she doesn't have perfect pitch), but she also can hear and see the relationship between each note. I'm always amazed when she picks up a piece of music for the first time and can hum it to me. Me...I just see black blobs all over the paper!</p>
