Introduction
My PhD in Music Education made me investigate how experience, strategies, cognitive load, and working memory capacity can predict sight-singing performance using questionnaires, eye-tracking, and retrospective interviews. I currently work as a teacher and pedagogical advisor in a music school and is also a freelance consultant in music education.

Sight-singing is prevalent in aural skill classes, where learners differ in experience and cognitive abilities.

La formation auditive (FA), habituellement définie comme le travail de la dictée musicale et de la lecture à vue chantée (Fry et Spencer, n.d.), est essentielle au développement de plusieurs habiletés nécessaires aux musiciens amateurs et professionnels (Groulx, 2015 ; Mishra, 2014 ; Rogers, 2013 ; Scripp et Davidson, 1994). Lorsque sa définition e...

Contexte : Plusieurs études nous confirment que l’enseignement de la formation auditive (FA) a encore sa place au sein de la formation musicale. Toutefois, de nombreux obstacles peuvent nuire à la réussite des élèves. Or, pour l’instant, nous en savons très peu sur l’enseignement de la FA dispensé aux jeunes musiciens puisque les articles scientifi...
