Study of Triads
Before the students begin work on the drills, explain that in all the songs they sing, over 50% of the notes - and often times even more - will be Tonic Triad notes: Do, Mi and Sol or 1-3-5.
If they can locate and sing these three pitches, they have the song 50% learned. They should learn to use these three tones as guideposts during their singing. The quicker they can recognize them, the more fluent they will become in their sight-singing.

The drills are written in various keys.
