In these videos we will learn:

  • how to read the rhythm of the songs with Ti-Ti-Ta
  • how to sing the songs with Do-Re-Mi
  • how to play the songs on the resonator bells
  • how to play the songs on the piano
  • how to read the notes with Do-Re-Mi

Children should sing and do the activities in this order:

  • away from the piano
  • at the piano

At the piano, very young students should start playing using the Right Hand Bird Beak hand position and later add a drone in the Left Hand.

More advanced students learn to play with 5 fingers in the right hand. After having mastered the songs as explained in the videos with LH plays fifths, they can progress to playing the song with the left hand as written, as explained in the videos labeled “LH plays Harmony.”
