and then the musician practices singing various note sequences using these matching syllables. Each note has a hand signal as well. Students who have studied solfege are able to mentally hear the notes of written music and then sing them out loud without having first heard the melody of the song. | |
The study of solfege can eventually help musicians recognize more complex musical
intervals such as perfect fifths and minor sixths. The knowledge of solfege is important for all musicians, but particularly for singers. All Up-a-do Unlimited Xylophone Music Pattern Song Books include a solfege chart to allow students to match colors to the solfege notes and to make solfege more accessible to musicians of all ages. |
Wishing you joy on your musical journey!
