Do-Re-Mi

Let's start at the very beginning

A very good place to start

When you read you begin with a-b-c

When you sing you begin with do-re-mi

Do-re-mi, do-re-mi

The first three notes just happen to be

Do-re-mi, do-re-mi

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti

Let's see if i can make it easy

Doe, a deer, a female deer

Ray, a drop of golden sun

Me, a name i call myself

Far, a long, long way to run

Sew, a needle pulling thread

La, a note to follow sew

Tea, a drink with jam and bread

That will bring us back to do (oh-oh-oh)

Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do

So-do!

Now children, do-re-mi-fa-so and so on are only the tools we use to

Build a song.

Once you have these notes in your heads, you can sing a million different tunes

By mixing them up. like this: so do la fa mi do re

Can you do that?

So do la fa mi do re

So do la ti do re do

So do la ti do re do

Now, put it all together:

So do la fa mi do re, so do la ti do re do

Good!

But it doesn't mean anything.

So we put in words. one word for every note. like this:

When you know the notes to sing

You can sing most anything

Together!

When you know the notes to sing

You can sing most anything

Doe, a deer, a female deer

Ray, a drop of golden sun

Me, a name i call myself

Far, a long, long way to run

Sew, a needle pulling thread

La, a note to follow sew

Tea, a drink with jam and bread

That will bring us back to do

Do re mi fa so la ti do

Do ti la so fa mi re

Do mi mi

Mi so so

Re fa fa

La ti ti

When you know the notes to sing

You can sing most anything

Doe, a deer, a female deer

Ray, a drop of golden sun

Me, a name i call myself

Far, a long, long way to run

Sew, a needle pulling thread

La, a note to follow sew

Tea, a drink with jam and bread

That will bring us back to

Do . . . so do

Re . . . la fa

Mi . . . mi do

Fa . . . re

So . . . so do

La . . . la fa

Ti . . . la so fa mi re

Ti do - oh - oh ti do -- so do
