Do Re Mi

Do-Re-Mi

Let s start at the very beginning

A very good place to start

When you read you begin with

ABC

When you sing you begin with

Do Re Mi

The first three notes just happen to be

Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti

Let s see if I can make it easier

Do - a deer a female deer

Re - a drop of golden sun

Mi - a name I call myself

Fa - a long long way to run

Sol- a needle pulling thread

La - a note to follow so

Ti - a drink with jam and bread

That will bring us back to Do

Oh Oh Oh

A deer a female deer

Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do Sol Do!

Now children, Do Re Mi Fa Sol and so on are natur ly the tunes we use

To build a song once you have these notes in your head you can sing

A million diff rent tune by mixin them up, like this:

Sol Do La Fa Mi Do Re

Can you do that?

Sol Do La Ti Do Re Do

Now let s put it all together

Good!

But it doesn t mean anything...

So we put in words,

One word for ev ry note, like this:

When you know the notes to sing

You can sing most anything.

Together!

You can sing most anything

Do Do Ti La Sol Fa Mi Re

Do Mi Mi Mi Sol Sol

Re Fa Fa La Ti Ti

That will bring us back to

Sol Do La Fa La Sol Fa Ti Re Ti Do

Sol Do
