I have created this version out of love for my students with disabilities in order to help other teachers and parents bring the joy of music to their students. Be sure to adapt as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePractice vowel recognition by singing\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003esolfège\u003c\/b\u003e - 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 introduces the syllables slowly, starting only with do-re-mi for the first nine songs, giving consistent repetition for students needing practice with verbal skills. I have witnessed incredible verbal growth by students.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePractice doing the hand signs: \u003c\/b\u003e For some students it can be best for you to do the singing and the student does the hand signs with you. Hand signs are in every song. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDo the motions in the songs with physical movements\u003c\/b\u003e: The Do-Re-Mi Body Tap song has students tap knees, belly and chest for the pitches. \"You are Important\" is song is a falling down song students love. It is similar to a ring-around-the-rosie song with better lyrics. Leap for Joy is a jumping song. And remember, these may be the only songs you do for awhile. I use large saucer-sized cut front felt notes in the colors (red for do) that the students enjoy putting on their knees. Repetition is key. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePractice eye tracking \u003c\/b\u003e- The colors and large print in this edition help students to track the notes and words. I recommend using a print edition so students can physically track the notes. I point for them until they are able to themselves. Even if the student has difficulty tracking with eyes, there is so much to learn by ear.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReinforce color recognition with Boomwhackers \u003c\/b\u003e- Boomwhackers are colored tubes of different lengths with a different color for every pitch. Each song in Level One is introduced with the notes being the colors of the tubes. Boomwhackers are easy to tap or play with a mallet. We practice \"ready position\" and \"resting position.\" Ready, is holding it up and waiting for every one to be ready. Resting is gently resting the tube on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLearn about empathy\u003c\/b\u003e - These songs are great for teaching what it means to have empathy, understand emotions, and appreciate diversity. Remember some students do best with singing only the do-re-mi, but they enjoy hearing the other words.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Samuelson Studio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798990409248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Publishdrive\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.14d","brand":"Sarah Samuelson Studio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440518770943,"sku":"9798990409248","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_705827fc-420d-48f1-b22f-bdc3ab46ea4e.jpg?v=1777182969","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/learn-to-sing-do-re-mi-sarah-samuelson-studio-9798990409248","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
