Conversational Solfege, Level 1 (Student Book)

Conversational Solfege, by John M. Feierabend, is a progressive general music program designed for first-through-eighth grades. The Student reading book contains songs from the Teacher's book.

This program, by John M. Feierabend, encourages students to be musically creative with the help of a variety of folk and classical music. Music education begins with literature and an "ear-before-eye" philosophy. Great songs are examined part by part and reassembled, giving students higher musical knowledge.

One goal of the Conversational Solfege program is the implementation of music from America's diverse history. Each book includes various songs giving the teacher the opportunity to select music appropriate for their class. This method leads students through 12 steps leading to creative and expressive musicians.
