Grade Level Suggestions
Here’s an idea of what grade levels could focus on which syllables:
- 1st – so, mi
- 2nd – mi, so, la
- 3rd – pentatonic – Add do, re first – and then all five: do, re, mi, so, la
- 4th – but add low so and la… I often replace the exclusive use of the Solfege with note names, since the kids are using recorders. So, they know G,A,B, low E. (do, re, mi, low la)
- 5th – Major scale – also recorder notes. G, A, B, C’, D’, low E, low D (do, re, mi, fa, so, low la, low so)
