Lesson details
Key learning points
- Do is moveable - it can be on any note.
- Singing can sometimes make us nervous, but it is also brilliant at boosting our confidence.
- Singing gives us an opportunity to express ourselves and be creative.
- Different combinations of notes creates different kinds of harmony.
Keywords
Note - a single sound in music
Conductor - a person who directs the performance of an ensemble
Harmony - the combination of two or more notes played or sung together, creating a pleasing sound
Improvise - to create music in the moment, using the voice or instruments, alone or with others
Common misconception
Do is always the same note.
This is the case in 'fixed do'. However, at Oak we use 'moveable do'. This means, do can be any note and then all other notes fall into place around it.
