Conversational Solfege, Level 1 - CD

Conversational Solfege is a dynamic and captivation general music program that enables students to become independent musical thinkers with the help of a rich variety of folk and classical music. With the Conversational Solfege approach, music literacy starts with great literature and an "ear-before-eye" philosophy that correlates with the National Standards. Great songs are broken down into their component parts and then reassembled so students can bring greater musical understanding to what they do. The ultimate goal is to create fully engaged, independent musicians who can hear, understand, read, compose, and improvise. The TeacherÆs Manual is packed with tone and rhythm card games, reproducible templates, and engaging teaching techniques that make learning and participating a blast. Included is an extensive assessment section by Dr. Clark Saunders, which will enable you to more completely track the progress of each student. Each book contains varied level song material appropriate for the lower grades or older beginners.
