BEGINNER examples with solfege written in and an audio track: 10 Beginner Sight Singing Exercises - Do Re Mi Studios (This is a great place to start!)
To become great at sight-singing, it is necessary to know all of the key signatures and the letter names of the notes on the staff. This knowledge helps to determine if the starting pitch is DO, MI, or SO (these are the three most common starting and ending pitches). Additionally, it will help you to assign solfege to the rest of the notes on the staff.
