8. Notes for Lecture I, and Homework
VERY important to learn Do Re Mi well
You can start playing songs before you know the Scale (DoReMi) but you'll play much better if you know the Scale well
Don't worry about which finger to use when playing . Just be comfortable .

9. Exercise
1. Get into the habbit of knowing the note (DoReMi) when you see the number. Sing out the note.
2. Do the same for the Octave above and below. i.e., 3 octaves
