Melody Edition Contents and Teachers Guide (Solfege Instruction)
The RhythmBee Melody Edition
(Solfeggio Instruction)
Like all of the RhythmBee instructional programs, the Melody Edition ensures that all students can "follow" the instruction. The automated lessons use visual cues to keep everyone engaged and in the right place. With this method, every student eventually gets it.
The Melody Edition provides an accompanied call to which the students provide an unaccompanied response using solfeggio syllables and then using note names. While the students are performing, the teacher is able to circulate through the class to monitor every student. The automated instruction makes time for individual monitoring, private instruction, and even assessment without sending students out of the class and without an extensive teaching staff.
The entire Melody Edition includes twenty-six five minute units in each of eleven keys (no G-flat). The units progress from the simplest skills in Unit 1 to the most complex in Unit 26. Each unit concentrates on one particular skill-set as follows:
