A very good place to start
When you read you begin with
CHILD:
ABC
MARIA:
When you sing you begin with
Do Re Mi
CHILDREN:

Do Re Mi
The first three notes just happen to be
Do Re Mi
CHILDREN:
Do Re Mi
MARIA:
Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti
Let's see if I can make it easier
Do - a deer a female deer
Re - a drop of golden sun
Mi - a name I call myself
Fa - a long long way to run
Sol- a needle pulling thread
La - a note to follow so
Ti - a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do
Oh Oh Oh
MARIA AND CHILDREN:

Now children, Do Re Mi Fa Sol and so on are natur'ly the tunes we use
To build a song once you have these notes in your head you can sing
A million diff'rent tune by mixin' them up, like this:
Sol Do La Fa Mi Do Re
Can you do that?
CHILDREN:

Sol Do La Fa Mi Do Re
Sol Do La Ti Do Re Do
MARIA:

But it doesn't mean anything...
MARIA:
So we put in words,
One word for ev'ry note, like this:
When you know the notes to sing
You can sing most anything.
Together!
