description The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes towards sight-singing among choir students in the Faculty of Music, UiTM Shah Alam. Specifically, this study looked at three elements: perceptions towards sight-singing, problems faced in sight-singing, and how students overcome problems in sight-singing. The sample comprised of 69 students enrolled in the choir class from three programs in the Faculty of Music, UiTM, Shah Alam: Music Education (MU220), Composition (MU221), and Performance (MU222).

There were no significant differences between the three programs for all three aspects being investigated. No significant differences were found between the males and females for all three sections (p > .05). Pearson's correlation was used to access the relationship between problems in sight-singing (section C) that was divided into two parts: sight-singing problems and choir sight-singing problems, and overcoming problems in sight-singing (section D). Interestingly, both parts in section C showed a strong positive correlation to each other (r > .5) meaning that the choir students who experienced problems in sight-singing faced problems in choir sight-singing…
