Let's start at the very beginning A very good place to start When you
read you begin with A-B-C When you sing you begin with
do-re-mi
Do-re-mi, do-re-mi The first three notes just happen to
be Do-re-mi, do-re-mi
Maria: Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti Let's see if I
can make it easy
Doe, a deer, a female deer Ray, a drop of golden
sun Me, a name I call myselfFar, a long, long way to run Sew, a needle
pulling thread La, a note to follow Sew Tea, a drink with jam and
bread That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)
Maria and
Children: (Repeat above verse
twice)
Maria: Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do So-do! Maria: spoken
Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on are only the tools we use to build a
song. Once you have these notes in your heads, you can sing a million
different tunes by mixing them up. Like this.
So Do La Fa Mi Do
Re spoken Can you do that? Children: So Do La Fa Mi Do
Re Maria: So Do La Ti Do Re Do Children: So Do La Ti Do Re
Do Maria: spoken Now, put it all together. Maria and
Children: So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do Maria: spoken
Good! Brigitta: spoken But it doesn't mean anything. Maria: spoken
So we put in words. One word for every note. Like this. |
