Composing with Solfege go

Last updated: 03/09/06

Students will create original compositions using the solfege syllables as Maria did with the song, "Do-Re-Mi". They will be asked to identify the syllables: Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, and Do on a classroom melodic instrument (xylophone, piano, bells¿). Students will create a melody using the solfege syllables for the notes of the scale. Encourage students to begin their song on the syllable "Do" which could stand for a female deer, cookie batter, money, or another word used as a pun.
