Pitch Year 3 - Pumpkin worksheet Solfa

This engaging Year 3 music worksheet presents a delightful pumpkin-themed melody, perfect for introducing young learners to the fundamentals of solfa, or solfège, and stave notation. The tune is composed of a sequence of simple solfa syllables which, when sung, create a catchy melody that is easy for children to follow and remember. The pattern starts with the familiar 'Do Mi Do Mi,' progressing through 'Do Mi So' and culminating in a slightly longer phrase 'So So So La So Mi Do Re,' before concluding with 'Mi Re Do.' The repetition of solfa syllables helps to reinforce the students' understanding of pitch relationships within the scale.

The worksheet clearly displays the stave notation alongside the corresponding solfa syllables, allowing pupils to make the visual connection between what they sing and what they see. This visual aid supports the development of music literacy, as students learn to associate the position of notes on the stave with their pitch. The melody is set in C major, with 'Do' corresponding to the note C, providing a solid foundation for learning other keys in the future. The layout is clean and straightforward, ensuring that the focus remains on the musical content, making it an excellent resource for young musicians to practice reading and singing music.
