=== Sight Singing ===
<u>Sight Singing</u> is sight reading music by singing it. This can be even more difficult than playing on an instrument, as you must hear the correct pitches in your head rather than simply locating the note on the instrument. Also, whereas with an instrument you may be intimately familiar with scale patterns and fingerings so that playing in a certain key comes naturally (such as simply by shifting positions on guitar), sight singing requires a strong understanding of possibly any key and hitting the correct note rather than being a half-step sharp/flat. This is assisted by singing the notes [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solf%C3%A8ge Solfège], which forces you to not only sing the correct pitch of the note but the correct scale degree.
