Maria] Let's start at the very beginning
|
A very good place to start When you read you begin with
|
Gretl] A B C
|
Maria] When you sing you begin with Do Re Mi
|
Children] Do Re Mi
|
|
Maria] Do Re Mi
|
The first three notes just happen to be Do Re Mi
|
Children] Do Re Mi
|
Maria] Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Oh, let's see if I can make it easier... mmmm...
|
|
Chorus] 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
|
|
Maria and children] 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
|
|
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
|
|
Maria] 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?
|
|
Children] So Do La Fa Mi Do Re
|
Maria] So Do La Ti Do Re Do
|
Children] So Do La Ti Do Re Do Good...
|
|
Brigitta] But it doesn't mean anything
|
Maria] 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
|
Children] Do Mi Mi, Mi So So, Re Fa Fa, La Ti Ti
|
|
(repeat this 4 times while Maria is singing
|
Maria] When you know the notes to sing You can sing most anything
|
|
Maria] Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Ti Do
|
Children] So Do La Fa Mi Do Re So Do La Fa La So Fa Mi Re Ti Do... So Do
