Dear Prakeerth,

Looks like youโ€™ve collected a box full of sa, re, ga maโ€ฆwith Mo and Mi too ! glad to see you trying so well and happy in singing, and do also see our notes below to get better ๐Ÿ™‚
Keep up the good work and here are some favourites that Mo and Mi have sent for you! ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ”ซ๐Ÿ’

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 – good
Understanding of the concept or exercise – good, needs some work
Singing/ Pitching – good, needs some work
Rhythm – excellent
Overall control (volume, breath etc) – good
Pronunciation/ recollection of lyrics – good

Notes: We know Prakeerth is quite young and we’re glad he’s listenign sincerely and trying to sing. Do encourage him to try to pay more attention to how Tootly is singing so he can continue working on pitch accuracy and control. The best way to do this is to try and listen keenly to Tootly and copy.

Listening and singing back with the teacher/ Tootly not only helps the kids with the right pitch and lyrics (without worrying to recreate from memory) but also helps develop the habit of hearing a sound and being able to reproduce it correctly.

Look forward to hearing more from Prakeerth.
