Let's start at the very beginning
|
A very good place to start
|
When you read, you begin with--
|
[LITTLE GIRL] A, be, see!
|
[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
|
[SPOKEN] Come, I'll make it easy for you. Listen:
|
|
[SUNG] 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
|
That will lead us back to Do, oh, oh, oh
|
[WITH 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
|
That will lead us back to Do
|
Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do-- So-- Do
|
|
[SPOKEN] Now, children, once you have these notes in your head, you can sing a
|
million tunes by mixing them up--like this:
|
[SUNG] So, Do, La, Fa, Mi, Do, Re... [SPOKEN] Now you do it.
|
[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 let's put it all together:
|
[SUNG BY ALL] So, Do, La, Fa, Mi, Do, Re
|
So, Do, La, Ti, Do, Re, Do
|
[LITTLE GIRL] But it doesn't mean anything!
|
[MARIA] So we put in words--one word for every note:
|
[SUNG] When you know the notes to sing
|
You can sing most an--why--thing. [SPOKEN] Together!
|
[SUNG BY ALL] When you know the notes to sing
|
You can sing most an--why--thing
|
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
|
That will lead us back to Do
|
Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do-- So-- Do
|
