"Solfege This!" is a complete and thorough workbook explaining all aspects of music theory for the purpose of developing music literacy. Music symbols, note reading, rhythmic reading, terminology, vocabulary, form, patterns, sight reading, analysis, and composition are included. Gordon and Takadimi rhythm syllables are both explained with examples and worksheets for both. Movable DO with a LA based minor provides the basis for tonal understanding. "Solfege This!" is intended to fulfill the final step in the music learning sequence of "sound before sight before theory." Classroom teachers will find "Solfege This!" useful in music rooms from elementary to high school and beyond. It provides thorough explanations, examples, and opportunities for students to practice fundamental music skills, including audiation. This book is an invaluable resource for instrumental, piano, and choral groups using movable tonal solfege (DO, RE, MI) with a LA based minor; and rhythm solfege systems like Gordon (du de) and Takadimi (ta di). For teachers less familiar with these teaching tools, "Solfege This!" is valuable introduction as it walks all learners step-by-step through logical and sequential music theory exercises. By the conclusion of "Solfege This!"
