Part 3: Intermediate/ Advanced extension  All older students need to learn how to use the solfege notation in the video here this week please.

This is a simplified notation that can assist with Sight singing, so although it might seem simple to an advanced student, please have them learn how to read this musical notation! It will get harder as the years go on.  So it’s important to have a solid foundation.
