Originally I wrote the Solfeggio series for students of Sibelius Academy. Today we know that this learning and teaching programme is suitable for anybody interested in developing his or her musical capacity. To use Solfeggio 1 you will need the exercise book with answers and a CD. The exercise book you can use traditionally, you may complete the e melody, do musical analysis and so on. As to the CD you need to listen to the whole score. It was recorded by the "Larte" Choir and the Chamber Orchestra of the Länsi-Uudenmaan musiikkiopisto [the West Regional Music Institute] in Lohja. CD tracks you can find free at the LUMO web pages. Open at virtual.lumo.org/Solfeggio1. Login as a guest without username or password. Welcome to enjoyable trip to find the secrets of Renaissance, to complete a brilliant Bach Choral or recognize the musical functions of a Viennese classical masterpiece.
About the author
Susanna Király¿s aim was to develop a method for music theory and ear training learning the basic level well and efficiently according to the Kodály method. Király has developed a six-part Prima Vista textbook series and was on the doctoral dissertation at the University of Helsinki in the spring of 2012. (Computer-aided Ear-training: A Contemporary Approach to Kodály's Music Educational Philosophy).
Kodály¿s philosophy of music education includes the idea that every child has the right to learn his musical mother tongue. This learning should take place in a child-centred, natural and easy way. In the present study, I particularly focused on the opportunities for developing and testing the new, computer-aided teaching method, especially for ear-training, using Kodály¿s concept.
My purpose was to create a learning tool that could be used in music schools to facilitate the teaching of music theory and solfège.
