Intonational Solfege Online Resources

Whether it be pattern training or various solfege methods, no methods teach singers to sing in tune! For the first time, James Jordan has developed a “spiraling” complete method for developing aural and intonational literacy in ALL the modes, at the same expanding through inferential teaching patterns outside tonic, dominant, and subdominant.

With newly composed accompanied exercises written by John Frederick Hudson and recorded tracks of all the exercises and patterns available for digital download, this method offers a comprehensive integration of Edwin Gordon’s Music Learning Theory and intonation teaching techniques developed by James Jordan.

All materials below help support both the teacher's edition and student's edition of Intonational Solfege

This collection of videos draws from a variety of sources. A series of lectures given by James Jordan are designed to partner with his Evoking Sound text and demonstrate the unique pedagogies he has developed over his thirty years of teaching conducting at Westminster Choir College of Rider University. Other Jordan lectures detail the teaching of patterns in a sequential way that accurately reflects the forward movement of sound in legato and non-legato contexts.
