Karaoke Solfege-Style

This is the best way to see the musical equivalent of the alphabet in action, the way The French School of Music taught it. If you can sing “do re mi” while conducting time, you’ll have an easier time learning an instrument.

• Partial demonstration video (sight singing and conducting, done in a single take)

• Sheet music for the secondary vocals, with solfege syllables

• Blog posts related to this demonstration (precursor to the second edition of The Unstoppable Musician)

Listed are sheet music for secondary vocals and corresponding Youtube links. Note: no ordering to the difficulty level, which can range from reasonable to “you’re nuts”.

• Bach Brandenburg 2 Allegro (mvt 1): Sheet Music Youtube - set playback to .75, it’s WAY too fast at normal speed

• Bach Brandenburg 3 Allegro (mvt 3): Sheet Music Youtube - start singing secondary vocals 20 seconds into the video

• E.S. Posthumus Arise: Sheet Music Youtube

• Buble Georgia On My Mind: Sheet Music Youtube
