ABOUT Solfa expresses the underlying language of music. It is a powerful tool for helping people learn to pitch as it gives solid aural, visual and kinesthetic references for concepts and sounds which can otherwise feel abstract. It supports core skills and confidence in rhythm and pulse, sight reading, composing, improvising, modes, internalising and understanding music theory and structure. If you are a musician it may change your life – it did mine!

Maybe you are already a competent music reader and want to develop skills in improvisation, or conversely are able to play by ear and want to be inspired by reading and playing some of the great composers, or to confidently create your own compositions or arrangements. Or perhaps you have various gaps in your musical skill and knowledge, and don’t know how to plug them. No need to feel daunted. Starting from the very basics, solfa builds truly competent musicians, and will change your musical experience and confidence, and your students’ too. This is for you!

​TEACHER TRAINING The course runs each time there is a group of people ready to do it. The next course will run from January/February 2027. Please contact to register your interest.

There are two options. You can do one or both.

OPTION 1

6 x 75 minute sessions, weekly live online in a small group, with regular contact/accountability through the week on a messenger thread. You will receive exercises from the very first session to take straight to your individual students and singing groups. Your own musical knowledge and understanding will deepen as you practice your new skills on your students!

​

OPTION 2

Access to 1 year’s worth of exercises in a graded course. This goes deeper and further than Option 1, but with less personalised contact. Ask all the questions you want to, and share what you are working on, in an online group. Join once a month live calls, where you can ask questions ahead of or during the session, challenge yourself, play with music, enjoy a network of musicians, music teachers and solfa practitioners, and extend your skills.
