Do Re Mi Fa So, Volume 1

20 Five-note Melodies for Beginners

In March 2024, the recorder teacher Elisabeth Neuser from Ulm asked me for simple pieces for her students. I referred her to my collections Karungi and Jangu Wano. 'No, much simpler'! she replied. She was thinking of a melody consisting of only five notes: g-a-b-c-d or g-a-bflat-c-d. In other words for real beginners. 

The idea inspired me. I hope you enjoy this collection very much. Soren Sieg. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
