Do-Re-Mi (from The Sound of Music)

Difficulty: Easy

Quick Summary

This catchy song is a playful and educational piece that introduces the concept of solfege, a system of vocal syllables used to represent musical notes. The lyrics of the song uses scales and corresponding solfege syllables, starting with "Do, a deer”. It begins with unison singing, then a long note melody plus offbeat solfege in the second part, and finally, juxtaposes words and solfege simultaneously. Serious fun!
