This interactive lesson helps students in grades K–5 hear, see, and feel do, re, and mi. Students listen to the pitches in folk songs and on real instruments, watch them played and sung with hand signs, and then sing and play along. It works for introducing, practicing, or reviewing do, re, and mi.

What’s included

  • A main menu with clickable links and a simple definition of solfège
  • Audio slides where students hear do, re, and mi in folk song recordings (“Hot Cross Buns” and “The Closet Key”), on an interactive piano, and on instruments like trumpet, recorder, xylophone, guitar, water glasses, and timpani
  • Video slides where students see do, re, and mi on instruments, with Curwen hand signs, and in standard notation
  • Play-along slides where students sing folk songs, play do, re, and mi on recorder, xylophone, or handbells, and sing patterns with hand signs
  • A 5-question pre-quiz and post-quiz, where students click an answer and get feedback right away, plus 4 bonus challenge questions
  • Directions for playing the audio and video and tips for sequencing the lesson

  8. Miss Riis Music –

    OK, this is one of my new favorite resources. My second graders have a district common assessment where they have to dictate do, re, and mi melodies. This file made this year’s group much more confident and successful. I love that you included different timbres and moved do around. A student made the observation, “that one is higher, but it sounds the same.”

    • Yellow Brick Road Music –

      I’m so happy to hear that! I LOVE that your students are making those connections 🙂

    I love this interactive basics series for my students. It’s an easy way for me to intigrate technology into my lessons, without me having to do all of the work to make this kind of presentation. There is so much detail that goes into a project like this, thank you for creating such a wonderful tool!
