  1. Melinda Van Aalsburg EDFL 4210 Spring 2012 Dr. Sewell April 14,2012 Teaching Solfege Through Anchored Media

  2. This is a lesson meant for a middle school general music class who has already studied basic music theory and is ready to move onto basic singing principles. It can, however, also be used in elementary classes as well as any choir class. Assumptions before beginning this lesson 1. Students have already been taught note names and their location on a music staff. Students should know the difference between a sharp note and a flat note. Students should also be familiar with how notes correspond to a traditional keyboard.

  3. We will be learning solfege syllables that we will use to sing our C Major Scale

  4. Review the notes in a C Major Scale and their corresponding notes on the piano.

  5. Each note of the scale has a solfege syllable that we can use to represent it instead of using letter names or numbers.

  6. What do we need solfege for? • We already use letters to represent note names • We already use numbers to represent rhythm and note length • These words are all one syllable which makes them easier to transfer to music. (imagine having to sing the word seven on one beat) • When singing notes that are sharp or flat we just change the word a little but it remains one syllable. Ex. When a Fa note is sharp we sing Fi instead This keeps us from having to fit the words F sharp on one beat.

  7. Each syllable also has a corresponding hand gesture.

  8. She combines everything we’ve learned so far. C Major Scale Solfege Syllables Hand Gestures and Gesture Placement

  9. In the movie, The Sound of Music the main character, Maria, teaches children to sing using the solfege syllables we studied today.

  10. Maria also gives definitions for the syllables to help the children remember. Ex. So-a needle pulling thread Ti-a drink with jam and bread

  11. Not everything you sing will always sound like a scale. Music mixes up the pitches and their syllables to make different songs. The solfege syllables and the notes they represent can be combined hundreds of different ways.

  12. Follow along as I sing and use the hand signs. These will be mixed up! Your Turn! Sing and use the solfege hand signs

  13. Assessment Assessment can take place throughout the lesson by observation from the teacher. Assessment can also take place at the end of class by asking the students to sing the scale while using the syllables and gestures. Assessment can take place by the teacher calling on students individually and asking them for the syllable and gesture that corresponds to a specific note.
