Intermediate Solfege Singing

This class is a great class to take after the Solfege Singing and Basics class!

When students study music, they not only learn to sing songs but also the musicality that goes into them.  As students learn songs to sing and move to, they will not only learn about the lyrics, but will also gain an understanding of the solfege-melody- that goes into the songs. In this class, we will learn songs and the melodic elements within the Pentatonic Scale.
