A Multi-Sensory Journey into Pitch: Dalcroze Solfège for Young Children

Have you ever wondered how children learn music best? Just like language, music is best learned through experience, movement, and play—not just memorization. That’s where Dalcroze Solfège comes in!

What Makes Dalcroze Solfège Unique?

Dalcroze Solfège is a multi-sensory and experiential approach to learning pitch. Unlike traditional methods that rely solely on reading music, this approach allows children to hear, feel, and internalize pitch naturally through:

✅ Listening – Training the ear to recognize musical patterns

✅ Singing – Strengthening pitch accuracy and musical memory

✅ Movement – Connecting pitch to physical gestures for deeper learning

✅ Teacher Improvisation – Lessons are shaped in real-time based on student responses, creating a highly engaging experience

✅ Harmonic Support – Children hear and experience pitch within a rich musical context

✅ Learning in the Flow of Music – Music-making happens continuously, not through isolated drills

How Does the Curriculum Progress?

Our program is designed to grow with your child, ensuring that they develop a strong foundation in pitch recognition and musical fluency at each stage:

🎵 Stage 1 (0–3 Years Old): Developing Pitch Awareness Through Exposure and Movement

🎵 Stage 2 (3–5 Years Old): Recognizing, Responding, and Pre-Reading

Children begin to listen, sing, move, and gesture to represent pitch changes.
They learn to recognize melodic patterns, explore pitch direction, and distinguish between major and minor tonalities.
This stage introduces symbolic reading—connecting sound and movement to visual representations of music, preparing them for reading formal notation.

🎵 Stage 3 (4.5–6 Years Old): Bridging Musical Experience with Music Literacy

Children take a step further by connecting their movements and singing to notation and the keyboard.
The teacher uses improvisation and harmonic support to guide them through real-time musical interactions.
Activities include moving on a giant staff, singing scale patterns, and playing simple melodies on instruments.
