GSCS choral member Mike Mertinooke has used numerous resources to compile a Help Manual for new and seasoned choral singers to help understand what all those lines, dots and squiggles mean when you open a score. Please avail yourselves of this wonderful six step guide if need some help in getting your sight reading skills up to speed. Each section works on different areas and contain useful practice items and/or links to get you familiarized with the concepts. We hope this tool will help you become a more accomplished singer.
