Abstract

For music learners, the foundational courses of sight singing and ear training are essential. In China, these subjects were first introduced in 1937 when Chen Hong began teaching them at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music (Liu, 2009)5. Since then, China has made significant advancements in this field and has published numerous textbooks, contributing to the growth of these subjects. However, there are still some limitations in the current Chinese teaching system.

Upon examining American solfeggio textbooks, it becomes evident that some of them can address the shortcomings in the existing Chinese curriculum.
