![]() Students are expected to compose regularly, ask questions and discuss compositional techniques with other composers and composition students. Each lesson, listening and analysis assignments are given as they relate to the student’s interests and development. Depending on experience level, I generally begin (undergraduate composition studies) by having students compose in smaller solo forms to gain the technique necessary to later compose more complex forms. The primary goal of the composition lesson is to help music students discover, refine and understand their musical voices.

Lindeman, Piano Lab: A Introduction to Class Piano (Levels I-II), Alfred’s Group Piano for Adults, Book I (Levels I-II), Book II (Levels III-IV), Bartok’s Mikrokosmos Books I-III (for sight-reading). The National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) requires all music majors to study piano at least as a minor instrument for several reasons including: to develop functional skills of sight-reading, harmonizing, accompanying and improvising, which are all essential to careers in music, to augment theory studies, as the piano is the most “graphic” of all instruments, therefore making more understandable concepts of interval, chord, and scale, among many others and finally, to broaden the student’s experience with music of differing styles and historic periods. This is an introductory class for music majors who are beginners.

Aside from being more singable the fixed Do syllables don't really offer any advantage over the letter names.Class Piano (levels 1-4) for majors and non-majors If you think in terms of Movable Do, which is really the most useful kind of solfege, the notes of the A major scale would be A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G#, and they would be named Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So (or Sol), La, Ti, just like every other major scale, which is what is so nice about Movable Do.īut if you were using the Fixed Do method, the notes A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G# would be named La, Si, Do#, Re, Mi, Fa#, Sol#. The notes would be named regardless of clef. In both cases, though, the clef would have nothing to do with it. ![]() In the Fixed Do system, the first note of the A scale would be La, because A is La regardless of the key. So in the key of A the note A would Do, B would be Re, C# would be Mi, etc.īut in Fixed Do, as used in France and some other countries (including, I now know from your response letter, Iran!), Do is just another name for C. In Movable Do solfege, the tonic note of a major scale is always "Do," regardless of the key. In the United States and England at least, movable Do is the most popular. C.S.Īnswer: It all depends on whether you have learned sol-fa with the "Fixed Do" method or the "Moveable Do" method. Not with A-B-C-D-E-F-G! I would really appreciate if you could clarify this for me. This is confusing for me because, I have learn to read the music with do-re-mi-etc. ![]() ![]() Or you first find the degree of note in the scale say B in A major key is supertonic therefore should be spelled Re. Do you spell it as if it is written in Bass clef ( since A is C in F-Clef which is Do). Assume that you are sol-faing! a melody in A written in treble clef! How do you spell notes in Sol-Fa. Question: I have this very basic question. Spelling a given scale in Sol-Fa 30: Spelling a given scale in Sol-Fa ![]()
