  • Perform folk dance styles
  • Express ideas in theatre, film/video
  • Apply art elements in 2D Visual Arts (painting and printing)

Origin of Solfeggio

  • Solfeggio originated nearly a thousand years ago
  • An Italian monk, Guido d'Arezzo, noticed that the beginning of hymns could be sung using syllables instead of note names
  • Developed a six-note ascending scale based on the initial pitch of each hymn phrase
  • The syllable “ut” was eventually changed to “do”

  • Call pitches in descending order: Do-Si-LA-Sol-Fa-Mi-Re-Do
  • Practice with a piano or virtual keyboard, playing the major scale in the key of C while singing Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si-Do

Expression of Ideas in Theatre, Film/Video

  • Theatre combines words, voice, movement, and visual elements
  • Theatre encompasses live performance of improvised and scripted (text) work
  • It also includes film, television, and other electronic media

Expression of Ideas in Photography
