Hi Alia!

I use a product called LISTEN AND SING, by David Damschroder. It is published
by Schirmer Books. I use it with my sight-singing class at the college where I
teach. So far (one year) I find it to be quite useful and comprehensive. I
comes
with a set of CD's, which enhance the material in the text.
