Music as a Language - Reading Together - The Sol-Fa Method

Home debates that students should be taught to sing using the Sol-fa method. She shows that the key fact for using this method is that "the child is taught to think of all the notes of the scale in relation to the key-note." (loc: 206)
Once students have mastered the Sol-fa method, they then move on to written music notation.

In case you'd like to use the Sol-fa method (also called solfege) with your students, I've rounded up some free resources.

• Mortimer - An Introduction to Solfege from Making Music Fun
• Mi-Do-Do Game from Making Music Fun
• Solfege Lesson Plan from Stacey Hardee
• A Series of Lessons on Sightsinging
