Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s
Seven musical notes
taught by Maria/ Julie to the children, Von Trapps’
And to us, all
Sounds of music’s syllabic system
Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti
Listen to the song sung
by you
within your mind’s ear
“Do”, a deer, a female deer”
“Re”, a drop of golden sun”
Go on, keep going…
“Mi”, a name I call myself”
“Fa”, a long, long way to run”
“Sol”, a needle pulling thread”
“La”, a note to follow Sol”
“Ti”, a drink with jam and bread”
“That will bring us back to “Do”, “Do”, “Do”
See how easy it is to sing a song
We all know
First-timers?
Play it on your phone and sing along.
Sing it out loud, with family, friends.
It will make you smile, make you laugh,
lift your mood, brighten your day.
Corny, magic, fun
Keep it…Simple.
