Southport Performing Arts Conservatory

This class is designed to teach students the basic building blocks of music. Emphasis is on ear training, solfege singing, ensemble and rhythm activities, sight reading, movement and music creativity. The classes are the beginning of simple harmonization of melodies and selected harmonic progressions through singing and keyboard performance.

Theory and Solfege lessons are designed Beginner-Intermediate-Advance. Level I and II are designed as one academic year. Level III and IV are each one semester. Students take three tests each quarter. (One oral, two writing) Students are expected to complete homework assignments for theory classes. End of every academic year tests are given which determine if the student will move to the next level. The classes will be held once a week for forty-five minutes to one hour.

"Solfege" came from French solfege in the 1910s. The French word in turn came from the Italian solfeggio, which is a combination of sol and fa. Its equivalent in Early Modern English is sol-fa.
