I’m in the process of learning to sight sing. It is so fun! Lately though, instead of trying to read a line of music, I’ve been trying to do the reverse – I hum a phrase of a song, and try to figure out the intervals between all the notes (without a piano or other instrument). I write it down on staff paper as I go. What a great exercise! Then you can check it on a piano.

Tonal First... Then Atonal

This is bloody difficult. I’ve been hacking around with this goal for a long time with minimal success. The key is to have a regular routine of practice or progress is impossible.
My choral master suggested this site:

It looks like it’s about sight reading – not sight singing ie learning intervals is not included… in any case it’s rather basic. Nevertheless, it may have something to offer… though ideally I need a link I can click for instant discipline.
There is a really cool program I’ve used called GNU Solfege. Unfortunately there aren’t too many songs loaded to sight sing but awesome coverage of learning pitch, intervals and rhythm.
PS: You know why they call it atonal music? Because somewhere, sometime, someone is going to have to atone for it…
