Author Description

Conversational Solfege is a dynamic and captivating first-through-eighth grade 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 that students can bring greater musical understanding to everything they do. The ultimate goal is to create fully engaged, independent musicians who can hear, understand, read, write, compose, and improvise. The Teacher s Manual is packed with tone and rhythm card games, duplicating templates, and engaging teaching techniques that make learning and participating a blast and non-threatening.
