There are two established ways to learn to play an instrument, by ear or by reading music. Within this course, we will use a time tested strategies from general music education to combine these two ways of learning. Research has shown that learning music based on common melodies is an effective method for developing skills. All of the songs within this course are based on common melodies. However, the skills you will learn can easily be transferred to any type of music you enjoy.We'll start by learning the song, which you may already know, then transferring it to solfege, a common musical language used to connect what we hear with what we play and read.
