Product description

From the author

Solfege Street introduces sol, mi, la, do, re, fa and ti through a ten-slide written story about neighbors on a musical street. Their relative line-and-space positions build toward a closing do-to-do scale.

Read the story aloud, demonstrate the hand signs at the supplied teacher cue and add singing or further demonstrations to suit the class. The native PowerPoint can be adapted for teacher-led music instruction.

In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Recognize and name the solfege syllables do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, and ti in sequence

  • Relate each solfege syllable's staff position (line or space) to its neighbors

Teaching tips

  • Pause on slide 3 for the explicit teacher hand-sign demonstration. You can add further demonstrations as you introduce later syllables.

  • Revisit the line-and-space relationships before singing the closing do-to-do scale.

Skills covered

  • Solfege syllable recognition — students meet each syllable (sol, mi, la, do, re, fa, ti) introduced one at a time through the street narrative.

  • Staff-position reasoning — students learn each syllable's line-or-space position relative to the syllables introduced before it.

  • Hand-sign association — students associate the teacher-modeled signs with syllables; extend the slide 3 cue as needed.
