Introducing Do Re Mi - Fun Music Theory - 0 views

  • It is best to introduce the sol-fa names by learning to recognise the intervals in familiar nursery songs.

      Good to think about when building elementary curriculum and lessons.
  • It is best to introduce the sol-fa names by learning to recognise the intervals in familiar nursery songs.
  • Start by teaching your little one So-Mi, which in the scale of C is G and E and sounds like “cuckoo” or “see-saw.”

  • When So and Mi are familiar, you can introduce La (A).

      Good to have a step-by-step (pun intended) for introducing little ones to solfedge.
  • Next you can introduce both Dos, high Do and low Do or bottom C and top C.

      step 3
  • A very good song for teaching both Dos is The Balloon Song, which can be sung with real balloons and is always very popular!

      Make lesson plan around this later.
  • Fixed Do ( used in a lot of the European countries ) where they actually use the sol-fa note names to identify notes rather than letter names (C-D-E etc.)  So this means the note names remain the same regardless of the key that is being played.

      An old professor told me fixed Do was helpful for producing musicians with perfect pitch, however that is not my goal when teaching solfege.
  • Movable Do  where Do is always the tonic. For example, in C major, C is do; in D major, D is do; in E-flat minor, E-flat is do, and so on. And the sol-fa syllables always stay the same when going from one key to the next regardless if there are sharps or flats.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Moveable Do is helpful for sight-reading and pitch relation within scales.
  • The moveable method gets too complex for younger children, so I tend to use the fixed Do method, but just wanted to clarify the difference here.
    • cheyroseb
       
      Could put every song in the same key for a while before explaining moveable do.

    A helpful guide for integrating and teaching solfege in the elementary school music classroom.
