What it teaches

Do, mi and so are the notes of your home chord. On the stave each sits two steps above the last: line to line, or space to space.

A skip. Jumps over one line or space

Do, mi, so. Each a skip apart

Hear it in your head. Before you sing it

What you sing

  1. Watch the skips while they play, then sing them back.
  2. Hear do, then sing the note named. Hear it in your head first.
  3. Read the skips, names under the notes.
  4. More skips through the chord, names faint.

Singing safely

Sing at an easy volume, in the middle of your range. Stop if anything tightens, scratches or hurts, and rest your voice.
