Dear Pugazhmaaran,

Looks like you’ve collected a box full of sa, re, ga ma…with Mo and Mi too ! I see you’ve sung well! Keep up the good work and here are some favourites that Mo and Mi have sent for you! 🌟🌈🔫🐒

Dear Parent,

The seven notes that your child has just learnt are the basis of all (yes, all) music. While the language used here is Indian, the seven notes are universal to any form of music and this set is also known as an octave (in western music) or saptak (in Indian music). What you may have heard as solfege (in western music) or sargam (in Indian music) is nothing more than the use of these notes (literally – sargam = sa re ga ma..)

Please also see our point-wise feedback below (based on needs work/ good/ excellent):

Confidence and Independence – excellent
Understanding of the concept or exercise – good
Singing/ Pitching – good, needs some work
Rhythm – excellent
Overall control (volume, breath etc) – excellent
Pronunciation/ recollection of lyrics – excellent

Notes: We’re impressed Pugazhmaaran could recollect the names of the notes on his own, and even sing in an ascending manner. Since he’s doing well – we’d love for him to work a bit more on pitch accuracy. In the first few exercises, to ensure we build pitch accuracy (which comes through listening and trying to imitate the singing), we’d recommend using part of the recording video where the character sings phrase by phrase and the child can listen and sing after it. Feel free to ALSO record on your own (part 3) as you have done.

Look forward to hearing more from Pugazhmaaran. The first teacher meet is due after completion of Day 5 – please check if you have scheduled one, and if not – do schedule one from your dashboard. Please ignore if this was completed already.
