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

Oh, let's see if I can make it

easier... mmmm...

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 So

Tea, a drink with jam and bread

And that will bring us back to Do oh oh oh

(Repeat chorus twice)

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 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

When you know the notes to sing

You can sing most anything

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

(repeat this 4 times while Maria is singing:)

When you know the notes to sing

You can sing most anything

Do
