This is "In the Hall of the Mountain King"  by Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg. Let's enjoy listening to music at first! 

In this video, you can hear the main melody in the music of "In the Hall of the Mountain King" played by the sound of the bassoon. Please try to catch up the rhythm with hand clapping.   

This is a melody from one of the very famous singing training book "Fifty Lessons for the Voice" by Giuseppe Concone. It is not so easy, so you will have this melody sometimes in our E-learning classes. 

Listen to the first movie and then go to the second one. You can practice tis melody phrase by phrase with that. 

You don't have to care about the "Do-Re-Mi" so far, Just try to sing with "la-la-la" or any kind of vowels.
​
Could you recognize this melody is starting with Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So, then move up to La-Ti-Do-Re-Mi?

You have learned "Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So" in the previous lesson, and I know so many people know about how it follows So... it is like this; Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do.

Some of you would feel this scale is too simple, however, you can enjoy this with nice harmonies, please try to hum or sing in Do-Re-Mi with this movie.

You will hear the first note (Do) at first, and then you can start singing after 4 beats. 

I am wondering if some of you might have a question about how you call the name of the notes like Ti or Si.

Both Ti and Si are correct. I know some of the people prefer to say "Sol" instead of "So" (actually I do!), and this is also correct. I need so many lines to explain why these are all correct, it would a kind of complicated... in future, you could have some opportunities to learn about it, however, you can choose your as you prefer.   

Hi everyone! 

Do you know what is "solfege"? 
You would get the answer if you search on internet like this; the study of singing and musicianship using solmization syllables.
