I want to teach solfege, but…
- I am an instrumentalist! I can barely sing solfege myself!
- My elementary music lessons on solfege are boring!
- My elementary kids don’t get solfege when I teach it.
- IÂ want teaching solfege to be a fun experience for my kids!
Any of these thoughts sound familiar?  If so, you are in the right place! Several years ago I was right there with you.  I’m a bassoon player and could barely sing solfege myself when I first started teaching.  When I taught it to kids, my lessons were boring and students did not retain the information.  Inspired by my own love of stories, I created Pitch Hill to make solfege a fun experience for everyone.  My kids started begging to visit Pitch Hill!
About Pitch Hill ®
Pitch Hill is a method of teaching the notes of the musical scale in which each note is a character with his or her own story and special song!  For example, meet our first character Sol! He’s a scaredy cat – scared of everything!  When he leaves his house, he just peeks out from behind his eyes!  We call him Scaredy-Cat Sol!
The stories provide a reason for a pitch’s corresponding Curwen hand sign as well as aid in explaining the relationships between pitches. You can preview the first lesson for Pitch Hill for FREE here.  In addition, you can purchase additional resources such as flipcharts, PowerPoints, posters, and more.  Thanks for visiting and we hope you enjoy your visit to Pitch Hill!
