This introductory voice lesson has been so exciting! The following chart displays the Solfege scale, our pronunciation tips for each syllable, and our class reminders for how to shape our hand symbols. Remember to practice reading/singing the Solfege scale from the bottom to the top! Use this chart as a reminder for practicing your new skill and as a tool to help complete your assignments.

Let's Use Solfege! Our First Assignment - due by 2/26/2010.
Now that we've learned our Solfege scale and hand symbols, it's time to try it out with a simple melody!
Your Assignment:
1. Select a simple song, such as "Mary had a little lamb," "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," etc. or feel free to make up a short song of your own for this assignment.
2. Take a few minutes to figure out the Solfege scale syllables that go along with your selection and write them out.
3. In the comments section of this blog, post the following:
- a. Name of the song selected.
- b. Solfege syllables for the song.
- c. Your thoughts about Solfege and how it can help you to learn vocal music.
- d. What do you think about the new blog for our class?
4. In our next music class (following 2/26), you will be able to fully "check-off" on your assignment by performing your selected song for me, by singing and using the hand symbols.
For extra credit, you may choose to take a few minutes during classtime to teach your selection to your classmates! :-)
Most importantly -- Have Fun!!!!!!!!!!

3. Solfege seemed kinda hard at first, now it's so easy -- I love it! My song came from our recorder book. Mrs. Olsen, I can already sing Solfege for our recorder songs all the way to page ten. I want to do the extra credit for the class -- may I do it next time? THIS IS FUN!
4. I like this blog. I hope that you will keep giving us some assignments that we can do on the computer. Even my classroom teacher, Mrs. Garrido, thinks this is really neat! Thank you for letting our class be first to try it out! :-)
EO students will post comments in this section.
