Looks like you’ve collected a box full of sa, re, ga ma…with Mo and Mi too ! Good to see you doing your lessons regularly. Keep up the good work and here are some favourites that Mo and Mi have sent for you! 🌟🌈🔫🐒
Dear Parent,
The seven notes that your child has just learnt are the basis of all (yes, all) music. While the language used here is Indian, the seven notes are universal to any form of music and this set is also known as an octave (in western music) or saptak (in Indian music). What you may have heard as solfege (in western music) or sargam (in Indian music) is nothing more than the use of these notes (literally – sargam = sa re ga ma..)
Please also see our point-wise feedback below (based on needs work/ good/ excellent):
Confidence and Independence – excellent
Understanding of the concept or exercise – excellent
Singing/ Pitching – good
Rhythm – excellent
Overall control (volume, breath etc) – needs work
Pronunciation/ recollection of lyrics – good
Notes: Arushi – we are glad for 2 things – a) that you could recollect the names of the notes and tried singing correctly in an ascending manner; b) that you are using Tootly reference audio where needed too.
We definitely want to draw your attention to 2 things:
1. When you use Tootly’s audio, remember to wait and listen first to Tootly, and sing AFTER, not WITH. Else Tootly and you can’t hear each other, no? 🙂
2. Please listen back to your audio – Did you feel like you were singing very high (almost like shouting)? Did it sound nice? Could it have sounded better in a stronger, calmer voice? Remember how Tootly told us to use our voice well, not too loud and not too soft. Think about it, try it and check for yourself 🙂
Parents: if you notice your child using an unnecessarily loud voice, please make it a point to pause immediately and calm down (maybe with a sip of water) then restart. Rather than correcting them everytime, we also try to make the child themselves sensitive to these aspects as part of their learning. She has understood the exercise and is able to recreate the notes fairly well too. 🙂
We’d love for Arushi to continue working on pitch accuracy and control. The best way to do this is to try and listen keenly to Tootly and copy.
Look forward to hearing more from Arushi. The first teacher meet is due after completion of Day 5 – please check if you have scheduled one, and if not – do schedule one from your dashboard. We’d love to meet you. Please ignore if this was completed already.
