traffic lights will allow us to perform music well. In this lesson will
let you acquire musical symbols and signs in learning singing.

Now my question is, are you ready to learn?

Yes, Teacher
Our lesson for today is all about the So-fa syllables and the
Kodaly hand signals

Are you familiar with so-fa syllables?

Okay ,These are the so-fa syllables kindly read it No, Teacher
Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do.
The So-fa syllables are Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do.

phrase, or a song . These syllables are used by singer in
practicing their vocal tone .

C. LESSON PROPER

colors with its meaning just like the pitch names from our previous
lesson they are connected with the so-fa syllables that we will
discuss for today.

Now we will make a short activity. Group yourselves into 2

group. Group 1 I want you to put the missing so-fa syllable of
each pitch name. And for the group 2, I want you to arrange the
so-fa syllables according to the order of the pitch name from A to
G.

Okay group 2 what are the alphabetical order of the so-fa Its

Very good! Do you have any questions about so-fa syllables? None, Teacher

Now we already know the so-fa syllables but I know we want to

remember them easily , right? how? by the use of its hand signals
called Kodaly hand signals
Kodaly hand signals are design so that each tone in solfege
system is given a shape for the singer while singing. Here are the
hand signs look like
These hand signals are also used at different height levels to
show the relative pitch intervals between the solfege pitches.

Do = in front of belly button

Re = In front of chest
Mi = Shoulder level
Fa = Mouth level
So = Eye level
La = Forehead level
Ti = Top of head level
High Do = Just above head level

Now, l will perform the following Kodaly hand signals and I want
you to imitate me. Understand?
Yes, teacher

DO,RE,MI,FA,SO,LA,TI,DO
(The pupils imitate what’s the teacher’s
does)
Good job, kids

Well said! thing perfect .
Like in singing we need to practice exercising our voice with the
so-fa syllables to enable us to better learn pitch relationship. As
well as the Kodaly hand signals , to help connect inner hearing
and reading of pitches with musical performance.
Do you understand? Yes, Teacher
