Lesson Details
Key learning points
- We can show the pitch with actions as we sing to help us hear when the notes are high or low.
- Music can be written down to be remembered for another day, and this is called notation.
- We can notate songs with the Solfège syllables mi, so, and la on a musical stave.
Common misconception
The note la is placed anywhere above the high line on the stave.
The note la sits on top of and touches the high line of the stave.
