TrueType Music Font
 
Exciting font tool for Orff and Kodaly teachers!
 
If you've always wanted an easy way to make sol-fa
hand sign materials for your classes, this is it!

SingASign includes both diatonic and chromatic hand signs.
Also included are quick-to-type stick rhythm notation groups.  
Plus, you get a C to C keyboard and fun balloons to use
to make games & activity sheets.
(StaffWriter also has a keyboard; it's F to F.) 

  
 
SingASign's design has the diatonic scale degrees (which get the most use)
under the  Home Key  positions.  You don't even have to move your hands!

Rhythm entry is also quick and easy! 
Stick notation is grouped by beats, not just single notes.
Special feature:  The most frequently-used note values 
(quarter, half, whole, 2-8th and 4-16th notes) 
are typed with the index fingers!  
Two fingers-- how easy is that?

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT CHROMATIC HAND SIGNS
 
There are many variations of chromatic hand signs.
Since they were not included as part of the original 
diatonic set, teachers have more or less developed their own. 
After much research, seeking advice from experts who use hand signs 
and considered decision-making, we chose chromatics that seem to be
the most widely used and the easiest for children to make with their hand.
For teachers who use two hands (one hand pointing down next to the diatonic hand sign)
we decided on a "down arrow" to represent the second hand.  The arrow
should be typed right before the diatonic which is to be lowered.
(We also included an "up arrow" for you to use.)
