Folk Song Sight Singing Series Book 4

The Folk Song Sight Singing Series Book 4 is the fourth volume in the renowned music series compiled and edited by Edgar Crowe, Annie Lawton, and W. Gillies Whittaker. Published by Oxford University Press (OUP) Music, it contains a collection of carefully graded folk tunes designed to systematically develop advanced sight-singing skills for students aged 11-16 (Key Stages 3-4) and beyond. Book 4 introduces significantly more difficult leaps and rhythms, and continues the progression towards chromatics and modulations necessary for high-level musical literacy. The volume often focuses on specific challenging intervals (e.g., $d-l$, $f-\text{low } t$) and complex rhythmic patterns, serving as an advanced resource for choral directors and music teachers.
