What is the solfege method?
What Is Solfege? As The Sound of Music hints at, solfeggio or solfege is a method of naming pitches. It works by assigning a syllable to each note of the musical scale. So rather than, say, naming a C major scale as C D E F G A B C, you can name it as do re mi fa sol la ti do.
How do I start teaching solfege?
Start with warm-ups. This is a great way to introduce solfege to your elementary-age choir. Use a simple sol-mi pattern or expand it to sol-mi-do or a descending 5-note scale (sol-fa-mi-re-do). Use call and response patterns to develop listening skills (try choosing tonal patterns from a new anthem).
