Developing Music Literacy with Conversational Solfege

True music literacy involves understanding the meaning of musical symbols and being able to interpret them without an instrument.
The ability to identify letter names or instrumental fingerings does not ensure an understanding of musical meaning.
True music literacy enables instrumentalists to express music through their instrument rather than using the instrument to hear the music.
Readiness skills must be in place before starting a music literacy program, including comfortable and accurate singing and moving skills, as well as expressive sensitivity.
Conversational Solfege is a literature-based curriculum that merges true music literacy skills with the conviction that the finest quality music should be used in the process.
Conversational Solfege is influenced by Kodaly philosophy and the Whole Language Approach, focusing on a literature-driven curriculum that prioritizes excellent musical materials.
The curriculum presents musical materials from the simple to the complex, from the familiar to the unfamiliar, and from the most common to the least common elements.
The curriculum analyzes the song content from a country's indigenous music and the music of artists to reflect rhythmic and melodic characteristics of that society.
The development of ear comprehension precedes reading, writing, or grammatical structure education in language and can be applied to the development of music literacy.
Building a strong foundation before embarking on a music literacy program enhances ultimate reading skills.
The ability to hear what is seen and see what is heard is the hallmark of true music literacy.
Conversational Solfege emphasizes the importance of expressive sensitivity, which must be assimilated from good musical models and quality literature that embodies expressiveness.Developing Music Literacy Skills with Conversational Solfege
Conversational Solfege is a music education method that emphasizes learning through the ears before reading and writing music.
The method uses rhythm syllables and solfege syllables to develop conversational skills with rhythm and tonal patterns.
Conversational Solfege borrows from language models to develop music literacy skills through a 12-stage process.
The 12 stages gradually build upon each other to develop understanding and creating music through the musical manipulation of sounds.
Stage 1 begins with readiness songs and rhymes learned by rote without the use of rhythm or solfege syllables.
Stage 2 introduces rhythm and/or tonal syllables to patterns spoken or sung by the teacher.
Stage 3 and 4 evaluate the student's ability to recognize and decode previously learned musical examples, both familiar and unfamiliar.
Stage 5 develops the ability to think and bring musical meaning to original musical thoughts, creating original rhythm or tonal patterns or melodies using rhythm or tonal syllables.
Stage 6 introduces notation symbols and the teacher reads notated patterns for the students.
Stage 7 and 8 evaluate the student's ability to recall the sounds and syllable names of previously introduced material, both familiar and unfamiliar.
Stage 9 and 10 focus on writing notation, copying existing patterns, songs, and rhymes, and engaging conversational and writing decoding skills.
Stage 11 and 12 require students to conversationally create through inner hearing and then writing-decode by transferring their musical thoughts into notation.
