Solfegio Instruction Teachers Guide

Like all of the RhythmBee instructional programs, the Solfegio Instruction 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 Solfegio Instruction provides an accompanied call to which the students provide an unaccompanied echo using solfeggio syllables and/or note names (teacher's choice).  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 Solfegio Instruction 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.  See the Contents section on the left side of this page.
