Lyrics

Lyrics

Does your heart get pumpin'You feet get jumpin'

Are you spending all your time

On a treasure quest

Your heart won't rest

'Til you have what looks so fine

Climbing to the top

Tell me, will it ever stop

[Chorus:]

Jesus said to live

Give and give and give

And store your treasure

In heaven where it lasts forever

Jesus said to live

Give and give and give

Store your treasure

In heaven where it lasts forevermore

First, listen to the song below and after you have learned it you can sing along with the video that I provide below.

Lyrics:

Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe

Doing exactly as the Lord commands, doing it happily

Action is the key, do it immediately, joy you will receive

Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe

O-B-E-D-I-E-N-C-E

Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe

We want to live pure, we want to live 'clean, we want to do our best

Sweetly submitting to authority, leaving to God the rest

Walking in the light, keeping our attitude right, on the narrow way

For if we believe the Word we receive, we always will obey

O-B-E-D-I-E-N-C-E

Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe

* * * * * * * * * *

Now that you have heard the song, you can sing along with the video below:

Did you have fun singing the song? I hope you all become smart and obedient boys after learning the song.

Let's learn a song called
"On Mother's Day"

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
“I’ve got something special for Mother’s Day
To thank you for the love that you give me every day
It’s just a little heart, but it says all that I can say
And it’s just for you on Mother’s Day"

[Verse 2]
I put my hands together, this is how I start 
I curve my fingers around so they make a heart 
And I blow it like a kiss and I send it your way
And it’s just for you on Mother’s Day

[Verse 3]
I’ve got something special for Mother’s Day
To thank you for the love that you give me everyday
It’s just a little heart but it says all that I can say
And it’s just for you on Mother’s Day

And it’s just for you on Mother’s Day

Week 1 - Lesson #1 - Do Re Mi

Dear children,

Welcome to the first lesson of the academic year. Congrats to all of you for having made it thus far! So, let's maintain a proper notebook for our Western Music class this year and cover it nicely in RED. Write the lyrics (words) of all the songs that are uploaded here each week. Write proper titles of the song with date. I will check your notebooks when we resume school.

Note to parents: please note the changes made in the post. Since there is no assigned notebooks for Western Music, please do not write down the songs in any notebook. Refer to this lesson/blog for the song lyrics. As much as possible, kindly make your children learn and memorise the songs given in each lesson. You must also have received the syllabus booklet. All the songs are already there in the booklet under the Western Music curriculum. Kindly refer to the same.

You must have seen this lesson last week. Now, I want you to really learn the song by heart and sing it confidently.

Learning outcome:

1. Learning Do-Re-Mi (solfege)
2. Learning the song Do-Re-Mi from the Sound of Music

Do-Re-Mi is the building block of all Western music vocal singing. In Indian classical music, the first notes begin with Sa-Re-Ga-Ma-Pa-Dha-Ni-Sa. In Western classical music it is Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do. These eight notes are called "Tonic Sol-fa" or "Solfège". Do Re Mi or ‘Tonic Sol-fa’ is a traditional and very effective way to teach the concept of intervals and the sound of each note of the scale. It helps build an understanding of how to pitch notes and know how they should sound.

If you have a piano at home, or have access to a piano, or have seen a piano, this is how Do-Re-Mi looks like in the *scale of C* (scales is for a later time; you don't have to worry about that for now).

Next, after we learn the solfege by heart, we will move on to learn the song Do-Re-Mi.

✋Check! Have you learned Do-Re-Mi yet? 👆 If not, first learn it by heart before proceeding.

Remember kids, Do-Re-Mi is your A-B-C of music. If you don't learn them by heart, you will not be able to sing effectively.

So, today's lesson (and for this week is)
1. Learn the solfege (Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do) by heart in the correct tune
2. Learn the song
