Solfege Course
Wednesday at 4:30 pm Beginning February 6, 2008 Universalist Unitarian Church, Rm 1 Dr. Teruni All Students Welcome Solfege: sight singing for all instrumentalists A 13-week introductory course for musicians of all ages. The goal is to pick up a piece of printed music and, using either Solfege syllables (the do- re- mi-), or musical note letters or numbers, and be able to sing, at first sight, the notes on the musical staff. This is a critical ability for string players, particularly when they start moving into the upper positions on the fingerboard. The focus is to develop the student's internal hearing. Beginning with the major scale, students move to musical dictation--simple rhythms at first, then later simple melodies. The fee for this course is included in your Gulf Coast Music tuition.
