Introducing solfege "La"

Dear Parents,

We have been working on "sol-mi" solfege pattern, and now adding "la" this week.

The Kodály approach emphasizes the importance of learning how to sing on pitch. Hand signs are a way of giving a physical placement for a vocal pitch. Thus, you have the hand signs going up when the pitch goes up.





List of "sol-mi" songs:
1-2 Tie My Shoes
Star Light, Star Bright

List of "sol-mi-la" songs:
Rain, Rain, Go Away
Lucy Locket

Here Comes the Blue Bird

I have not uploaded all the songs yet. Please encourage children to show you a "sol-mi" and "sol-mi-la" hand sign this week at home.
