Room 6: Learning Solfege with Handbells

We have been learning that pitches can be identified by their position in the solfege scale. Solfege is a system for singing notes. If you’re familiar with the famous Rogers and Hammerstein song “Do-Re-Mi” from The Sound of Music, you already know the solfege note names: doremifasola and ti.



We have been using the handbells to help us with this. We have some simple melodies to play and the notes are coloured the same as the handbell that represents the note. This week we enjoyed playing Pachelbel's Canon with groups rotating.
