In Primary Choir young singers will build a strong foundation in music through the Kodály method using Solfège.  

• The Kodály method emphasizes joyful, sequential learning through folk songs, games, and movement to develop musical literacy and a lifelong love of singing.
• Solfège is a proven teaching technique that uses the movable-do system with syllables: do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti.
• These syllables help students hear and understand pitch relationships (intervals) between notes.

With these skills students will be enabled to:

• sing songs accurately without an instrument or starting pitch
• read and perform new music confidently from sheet music
• have a strong musical ear and internalize intervals
• improved pitch accuracy, rhythm, and overall musicianship.

We will have fun with engaging activities, games, movement, and familiar songs making learning enjoyable!
