How to practice sight-singing every day

The hard part of sight-singing isn't the music — it's the consistency. Twenty minutes once a week does almost nothing. Five minutes every day builds the reflex. This is the routine the SightSing curriculum is structured around.

Step 1: Decide on a fixed time. Coffee. Lunch. After your kid goes to bed. The trigger matters more than the duration.

Step 2: One trainer per day. Monday: sight-singing. Tuesday: rhythm. Wednesday: intervals. Cycle. Don't try to do all three every day — fatigue beats consistency.

Step 3: Trust the level system. The peer-reviewed curriculum gates progression at 8-of-10 mastery. If you can't pass a level, the level isn't too hard — you need more reps. Stay, don't skip.

Step 4: Track the streak, not the score. The app shows you a daily-practice streak; that's the metric. Score improves automatically when streak holds.
