Abstract
The purpose of this research wax to discover materials and methods used and examine influences on how and. why sight-singing is taught in Florida middle-school choral programs. Members of the Florida Vocal Association completed an online or paper version of a questionnaire (N = 152). Data yielded several results that support previous research and provide an in-depth look at respondents' instructional practices and techniques. Additional research must be cond.uc.ted. to make more specific conclusions about the teaching of sight-singing in the middle grades. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
