"Do Re Mi"
This song is one of the theme songs of the Oscar-winning classic movie "The Sound of Music" and is also a famous music enlightenment song. It was included in the music textbook for the sixth grade of elementary school. It is the first song taught by the protagonist Maria to seven children. It also opens up the children's romance and imagination that have been confined in military families for many years.
Maria, the governess in the movie, compiled this song in order to help the seven children of a naval officer's family remember the seven most basic notes used in singing. She uses the methods of homophony and image memory to make learning singing more popular and interesting for children.
This is a very cheerful musical enlightenment song. The tutor, Miss Maria, adopts a very clever way to inspire children to remember each note.
Melody-wise, this song adopts a "progressive" approach. The teacher sings, and then the children learn to sing it again. Next, the children first speak out the seven-note roll call on the first beat of each piece of music, and the teacher then sings an easy-to-understand metaphor. These metaphors are vivid, vivid, easy to learn and remember.
Then, the teacher used seven notes to form different combinations, telling the children that melody is composed of different combinations of these notes and changes in rhythm. Here, the basic note of each phrase is exactly the note below. It's really fun to teach children music in this way.
This song has a simple melody, lively content, and childlike lyrics. It has also become a musical enlightenment song and is widely circulated around the world.
