Several Kodály music texts use the do clef, It's a way to show where do "lives" without the need of accidentals or specifying absolute pitches (letters). Everything is relative to "do" and one can sing "do" on any pitch. I introduce the treble clef in 3rd grade when we begin recorders, because with recorder music we are reading and playing absolute pitches. When it comes to teaching young children beginning reading skills, I want the emphasis to be on the intervalic relationships in the melodies they learn. Then they are making a connection between what they hear, sing, and read, without being bogged down with "it's-in-the-first-space-it's-called-"F". Memorizing letter names on any staff is meaningless unless we are directly applying it to playing an instrument, (and while I use barred instruments, I teach beginning staff reading through singing.)Tanya LeJeunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16787704961441045317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794583208260437294.post-26147781332598020542013-06-29T20:24:59.159-07:002013-06-29T20:24:59.159-07:00I'm curious about your "do clef" tha...I'm curious about your "do clef" that you use. Where did that come from exactly? We incorporate do re mi fa so la ti do in the same way and showing on the musical staff, but I've never seen this symbol you use or heard of a "do clef". I'm assuming that the sign is marked to where the do note starts? Would you ever use any other "clef" signs?

(I save "Wallflowers" for re and "Sorida" for 4th grade Africa. I've had safety/excitement issues with the game for "King's Land" so that song is taking a year off!) I don't know "Bingo Bongolo" at all.Tanya LeJeunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16787704961441045317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794583208260437294.post-41559764659765194292012-10-21T16:58:32.251-07:002012-10-21T16:58:32.251-07:00Great ideas, Tanya!

I'm thinking TRIKE members should try making these at our make and take workshop in January. :) Other "do" songs I love include "Sorida," "King's Land," "Pease Porridge Hot," "Wallflowers," and "Bingo Bongolo."Aileen Miraclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342289760906142328noreply@blogger.com
