The solfège method assigns each note in the music scale with a syllable: do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do as heard in the song \"doe a deer...ray a drop of golden sun...me a name I call myself.\" This curriculum starts with songs only using do, then do-re, then do-re-mi and so on. Melodies are songs from different countries and African American spirituals. Here are the steps for learning. My experience has been that those who learn with solfège and note names will build a tonal memory that over time will help you learn songs more quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Sing and Play Process of Learning\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLearn the solfège\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePractice the hand signs - it helps you remember the solfège\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePractice the fingerings while singing the solfège - it helps your fingers get used to feeling the recorder wholes and hearing the melody and the solfège will help you remember the relationship between the pitches (steps or skips or repeated notes) \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlay the note and think the solfège as you play\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLearn the note names\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePractice the fingerings while singing the note names - B-A-G - Taking time to do both of these steps will help you build your tonal memory stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlay the notes and think the note names as you play\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLearn the lyrics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSing the lyrics in the language you are most familiar with then sing in the language your friends are most familiar with.
