Sol-Mi-La

Dear Parents,

We are singing and playing "Lucy Locket" in class this week!

Text:
Lucy Locket lost her pocket
Kitty Fisher found it
Not a penny was there in it
Only ribbon round it

Recording:

This song is based on a nursery rhyme, and children are encouraged to sing along and get a head start on solfege singing. Let them discover "solfege" to this song this week. Please let them know that the song starts on "Sol."

Studies have shown that early experience with careful, analytic listening can dramatically improve auditory processing, listening comprehension, and in turn, reading ability – even in children with an inherited weakness.
