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
|
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.
|
|
When you know the notes to sing
|
You can sing most anything
|
spoken Together!
|
|
Maria and Children:
|
When you know the notes to sing
|
You can sing most anything
|
|
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
|
|
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
|
Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re
|
|
Children:
|
Do Mi Mi
|
Mi So So
|
Re Fa Fa
|
La Ti Ti
|
(Repeat above verse 4x as Maria sings)
|
|
Maria:
|
When you know the notes to sing
|
You can sing most anything

Maria and Children:
|
Doe, a deer, a female deer
|

|

|
That will bring us back to
|
|
Maria:
|
Children:
|
|
Do . . . So Do
|
Re . . . La Fa
|
Mi . . . Mi Do
|
Fa . . . Re
|
So . . . So Do

La . . . La Fa
|
