Learn to Sing in Harmony is a curriculum for learning how to read music by singing and help develop the skill and joy of singing harmony. The solfège method assigns each note in the music scale with a syllable: do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do much as heard in the song ""doe a deer...ray a drop of golden sun...me a name I call myself.."" This curriculum starts with songs only using do, then do-re, then do-re-mi and so on. Melodies are songs from different countries and African American spirituals. Here are some ways to utilize this method:
Learn to read music notes by singing
Start with songs you know like ""Mary Had a Little Lamb"" or ""Twinkle Twinkle"" and sing the melody in the solfège which is included in every song.
Practice the hand signs that go with each note to help remember the solfège.
Sing the language you are most familiar with then try the other languages.
Add your creativity! Once you've learned the song start improvising or creating your own version with new rhythms and tones! Remember the rhythms are only simplified for learning.
Sing the songs with harmony. The first type of harmony is called a ""round."" Multiple people sing the same melody but start at different times. The starting places are indicated by numbers in the measure.
