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
Maria: Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti spoken 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)
Maria and Children: (Repeat above verse twice)
Maria: Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do So-do!
Maria:(spoken) 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 spoken Can you do that? Children: So Do La Fa Mi Do Re Maria: So Do La Ti Do Re Do Children: So Do La Ti Do Re Do Maria: spoken Now, put it all together.
Maria and Children: So Do La Fa Mi Do Re, So Do La Ti Do Re Do Maria: spoken Good! Brigitta: spoken But it doesn't mean anything. Maria: spoken So we put in words. One word for every note. Like this.
