The 36 lessons of The Singing Companion follow and reinforce the pitch and rhythm sequence of the six levels   teaching goals, correlated music theory concepts and introduction of solfege syllables are presented in the colored boxes at the start of each lesson.  \nThe aim is for singers and instrumentalists ofall ages to be able to hear and sing  \nsolfege   rhythm accuracy. This acquired musical literacy will speed the learning of music, and   \nExercises are adapted from the three levels of The Weineke Method  \nMelodia  \n(Samuel W. Cole  \n3  \nCURWEN HAND SIGNS  \nThe application of solfeggio is best reinforced by using the Curwen hand signs or by adjusting your hand by levels to help indicate the pitches going up or down. This aids in connecting physically to what you hear and will also help show the contour of the melody. Pay careful attention to placement of the hand in relationship to the body. Use the diagram below to help you.  \n4  \nNOTES  \nThe note head tells you which note to sing.
