Let's start at the very beginning 

A very good place to start 

When you read you begin with A-B-C 

When you sing you begin with do-re-mi 



Do-re-mi, do-re-mi 

The first three notes just happen to be 

Do-re-mi, do-re-mi 

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti 



Let's see if I can make it easy 

Doe, a deer, a female deer 

Ray, a drop of golden sun 

Me, a name I call myself 

Far, a long, long way to run 

Sew, a needle pulling thread 

La, a note to follow Sew 

Tea, a drink with jam and bread 

That will bring us back to Do (oh-oh-oh)

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do 

So-do! 



Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on 

are only the tools we use to build a song. 

Once you have these notes in your heads, 

you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up. 

Like this. 



So Do La Fa Mi Do Re 

Can you do that? 

So Do La Fa Mi Do Re 

So Do La Ti Do Re Do 

So Do La Ti Do Re Do 



Now, put it all together. 

So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do 



Good! 



But it doesn't mean anything. 

So we put in words. One word for every note. Like this. 

When you know the notes to sing 

You can sing most anything 

Together!
