Students have fun singing and moving as they train their ears and voices to be pitch-perfect! Our (Do Re Mi) solfege and Kodaly singing activities get students moving their hands as they sing. This kinesthetic process trains the brain to hear accurate pitch. We combine this process with singing fun songs in which we get to move, wiggle, and dance our heart’s delight as we embrace music!
