This class will help young learners begin to build a foundation for an important musical skill - solfeggio! Solfeggio or solfege is a system that helps train the ear to recognize relationships between pitches and hear patterns in music. It is never too soon to begin building this musical foundation! In class we will learn the solfege syllables (do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti) and the hand signs used for each. We will play different musical games, including call and response and imitation games, to reinforce these syllables and hand signs. Finally, we will learn solfege and hand signs for the melody of a common children's song so that learners will be able to practice at home. Learners do not need any prior knowledge of solfege or the hand signs!
Learning Goals
Learners will learn the solfeggio syllables and hand signs for each syllable.

Ciao ciao!
I'm Ms. Meredith and I live in northeastern Massachusetts. I consider myself to be a lifelong learner, and I hope to motivate others, especially young learners, to become lifelong learners as well! I aim to encourage young learners to find a passion that will inspire them to love learning and lead them to continue learning throughout their lives.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Music and Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy from Immaculata University in Pennsylvania and a STB Theology degree from the Pontificia Universita San Tommaso D'Aquino in Rome, Italy. I have worked with learners of all ages in many different capacities for over 15 years. I have been a summer camp counselor, swim instructor, peer mentor, online ESL teacher, and I was a nanny and English language tutor for a family in Italy for three years. I currently work full-time teaching music and theology to learners of all ages.
When I am not teaching you can find me traveling or cooking! I have lived in 4 different States and also in Italy for 5 years. My travels have taken me to 49 States in the USA and 31 countries throughout North America and Europe. I would love to share my stories, experiences, and what I have learned through my travels with young learners to help them to recognize and appreciate the beauty and diversity of our country and our world.
I hope to inspire your learner to discover their own individual passions and fall in love with learning, so join me in the classroom for a discovery mission and begin the journey to lifelong learning! Reviews
