Conversational Solfege Course — June 23–26, 2026

Conversational Solfege™ is a pedagogical approach used to intuitively develop notational literacy skills with students of elementary age through adults who are tuneful, beatiful, and artful. Through carefully sequenced activities, Conversational Solfege™ first develops an understanding of music through the use of rhythm and solfege syllables at a "conversational" level, then gradually evolves into reading, writing, improvisation, dictation, and composition skills.Teachers will learn how to enable students to joyfully assimilate the skills and content necessary to be notationally literate. This Conversational Solfege™ course will address lesson planning, unit planning, and assessment and applies to music educators in most music educational settings elementary through college.
