(not necessarily in that order)
I can’t believe it’s been over four years since the last time we watched the Sound of Music!
Once again the impetus came from discovering that a key music ministry friend had never seen it, but we’re always happy to find an excuse to view this movie regardless.
I certainly won’t wait another four years to see it again.
If not, you won’t get this musician’s joke…
How did you do?
Well, let’s fill in the gaps with some background. To start with, solfege is “the study of singing and musicianship using solmization syllables”.
Ha ha! Don’t worry, solmization was a brand new word for me, too! It means: “a system of associating each note of a scale with a particular syllable, especially to teach singing”.
Also known as…the Do-Re-Mi’s (Julie/Maria explains it so well)!
Okay, now you can go back to the image at the beginning, say your Do-Re-Mi’s backwards*, and prepare to chuckle!
The bonus is that you actually learned a little bit of music theory.
